The bill amends the law regarding hunting and fishing licenses in Arkansas, specifically addressing the issuance of these licenses to foreign exchange students. It introduces a new section, 15-42-131, which allows the Arkansas State Game and Fish Commission to categorize foreign exchange students similarly to non-resident college students when issuing hunting and fishing licenses.
This change aims to clarify the eligibility of foreign exchange students for obtaining hunting and fishing licenses, ensuring they are treated equitably in comparison to other non-resident individuals. The amendment reflects a broader effort to facilitate access to outdoor recreational activities for foreign exchange students residing in Arkansas.
