The bill mandates the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks to provide a discounted resident senior combination hunting and fishing license for Kansas residents aged 65 and older, with the fee capped at 1/8 of the general combination lifetime license fee. Additionally, it amends the Kansas kids lifetime combination hunting and fishing license provisions by increasing the maximum age for eligibility from 7 to 15 years, reducing the maximum fee for children aged 6 to 15 from $500 to $400, and maintaining the fee for children 5 years and younger at $300.

Furthermore, the bill removes the expiration date of July 1, 2032, for the Kansas kids lifetime combination hunting and fishing license, ensuring its continued availability. It also includes a requirement for the secretary of wildlife and parks to report annually on the number of these licenses issued. The existing section of K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 32-9,101 is repealed as part of this legislative update.
