A 4919 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to authorizing certain free permits, stamps and privileges for qualified hunting instructors

This bill authorizes free hunting permits for qualified hunting instructors in New York. Specifically, it provides free bowhunting privileges, muzzle-loading privileges, turkey permits, duck stamps, and doe permits to residents who are designated by the state department to teach responsible hunting, bowhunting, or trapping practices. Instructors must be certified to provide such training, regardless of whether they are paid for it. The law changes the standard fee structure for these specific permits, making them free for this designated group.
