Free angling, deer, and small game licenses to residents age 70 or over provision
This bill (SF 2714) provides free angling, deer, and small game hunting licenses to Minnesota residents aged 70 or older. It requires license issuers to provide three specific licenses without charge: a permanent fishing license, an annual deer hunting license (for firearms or archery), and an annual small game license. Proof of age is verified using a driver's license or Minnesota ID at any license agent location. The bill directly affects eligible seniors by removing fees for these recreational hunting and fishing permits.
