The bill revises existing laws concerning Class D-5 licenses, which are required for training bird hunting dogs using game birds not raised in captivity. A significant change is the requirement for applicants to report the number of dogs they intend to train on their license application, with this information also printed on the issued license. Additionally, the bill clarifies that a Class D-5 license is not necessary for training with game birds raised in captivity, provided that these birds are properly tagged or marked before release.

Furthermore, the bill grants the Fish and Wildlife Commission the authority to regulate the number of Class D-5 licenses issued, particularly for nonresidents, and to set limits on the number of dogs that can be trained under such a license. The language in the bill reflects these changes, with the commission's rulemaking authority being adjusted from "shall" to "may," allowing for more flexibility in implementing these regulations.
