This bill mandates the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks to provide discounted resident senior combination hunting and fishing passes for individuals aged 65 and older. It also removes the expiration date for Kansas kids' lifetime combination hunting and fishing licenses, ensuring that these licenses remain valid indefinitely. The fee for both the senior pass and the kids' license will not exceed the amount required for them to qualify as paid hunting or fishing licenses under federal law.

Additionally, the bill revives and amends existing statutes related to these licenses, specifically K.S.A. 32-9,100, which previously included an expiration date of June 30, 2020, and K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 32-9,101, which had specific age-related fee structures for children. The new provisions eliminate these age-specific fees and expiration dates, streamlining the licensing process for seniors and children alike. The bill also repeals certain sections of existing law that are now rendered obsolete by these changes.
