The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6253, aims to amend current statutes to exempt senior citizens from the fees associated with recreational freshwater and saltwater fishing licenses. This legislative change is intended to enhance recreational opportunities for senior citizens, making fishing more accessible to this demographic.
The bill introduces new legal language that specifies the exemption for senior citizens from fishing license fees, while no deletions from existing law are noted in the text provided. This initiative reflects a commitment to promoting outdoor activities among older adults, thereby supporting their well-being and engagement with nature.
