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, effective January 1, 2026. The fee for this pass will not exceed one-eighth of the general combination lifetime hunting and fishing license fee. Additionally, the bill increases the maximum age for qualifying for Kansas kids' lifetime combination hunting and fishing licenses, allowing children up to 15 years old to qualify, and removes the previous expiration date for these licenses.

The bill also includes several amendments and repeals existing provisions. Specifically, it deletes the expiration date for the senior pass that was set for June 30, 2020, and removes the previous age limits and fee structure for the Kansas kids' licenses, which were set at $500 for ages six or seven and $300 for those five and younger. Furthermore, it repeals certain sections of the law that are no longer applicable, ensuring that the updated provisions remain in effect without expiration.
