A 4653 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for the issuance of free hunting, fishing and trapping licenses to members of the Seneca nation who reside in the state

This bill amends New York's environmental conservation law to provide free hunting, fishing, and trapping licenses to members of the Seneca Nation who reside in the state. It directly affects Seneca Nation members living within New York, granting them free access to these licenses without requiring purchase. The key provision updates existing eligibility criteria in the law to specifically include Seneca Nation members residing in the state, alongside other tribal groups and certain other categories like veterans and seniors. The change modifies sections 11-0703 and 11-0715 of the law, effective 30 days after enactment.
