The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6253, aims to amend current statutes to exempt senior citizens from paying fees for recreational freshwater and saltwater fishing licenses. This change is intended to enhance recreational opportunities for seniors, 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 existing legal language is deleted. By removing the financial barrier associated with fishing licenses, the bill seeks to promote outdoor activities among older adults, thereby supporting their well-being and engagement in recreational pursuits.
