This bill amends Arkansas Code 15-42-104 to allow minors who are required to obtain hunting or fishing licenses to pay the resident fee when they are visiting a parent or legal guardian in the state, even if they reside out-of-state. The new provision specifies that these minors will be considered residents for the purpose of obtaining these licenses during their visit.

The addition to the law clarifies that the resident fee applies to minors visiting their parents or guardians, thereby making it more accessible for families who may travel from out-of-state for recreational activities such as hunting and fishing. This change aims to promote participation in outdoor activities among minors while ensuring that they are not financially burdened by non-resident fees during their visits.
