This bill proposes an amendment to West Virginia's Code regarding the validity period of hunting and fishing licenses. Specifically, it seeks to change the expiration date of these licenses from the last day of the calendar year in which they are issued to one year from the date of issue.
The legal language being deleted states that licenses are valid "through the last day of the calendar year for which they are issued," while the new language inserted specifies that they will instead be valid "a year from the date of issue." This change aims to provide license holders with a full year of validity from the time they obtain their licenses, rather than limiting them to the end of the calendar year.
