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 these licenses 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, providing license holders with a full year of use regardless of when during the calendar year the license is obtained.

The bill aims to enhance the flexibility and usability of hunting and fishing licenses for residents and visitors alike, allowing for a more extended period of recreational activity. By shifting the expiration date to one year from the date of issue, the legislation seeks to accommodate the varying schedules and preferences of outdoor enthusiasts in West Virginia.
