This bill proposes an amendment to West Virginia Code §20-2-35, which governs the validity period of hunting and fishing licenses. The current law states that licenses and permits are valid through the last day of the calendar year in which they are issued. The proposed change will alter this validity period to one year from the date of issue, allowing for a longer duration for license holders.

The primary objective of this bill is to provide greater flexibility and convenience for hunters and anglers by extending the validity of their licenses beyond the end of the calendar year. This change aims to simplify the licensing process and encourage outdoor activities throughout the year.
