STATE OF ALASKA                                                                    BILL NO. HB 260
2018 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
   This bill describes how a person holding a Fish and Game sport fishing, hunting, trapping license, or Permanent
   Identification Card may display a valid copy (a sport fishing, hunting, or trapping license must be signed in order to be
   considered valid) in paper or electronic format to an enforcement agent as proof of possession. The department does not
   foresee that any statute or regulation currently restricts a user from displaying the actual license in either paper or
   electronic format, so long as the license is valid and signed.
   Fish and Game regulation 5 AAC 75.006(a) requires that, (1) a nontransferable harvest record must be in possession of
   each person taking and retaining a finfish for which an annual limit has been established; for a licensed angler, a harvest
   record appears on the back of the angler's sport fishing license, a harvest record may be obtained, without charge, from
   department offices and fishing license vendors; (2) immediately upon landing a finfish for which an annual limit has been
   established, the angler shall enter the date, location (body of water fished), and species of the catch, in ink, on the harvest
   record.
   Fish and Game regulation 5 AAC 92.010 requires that, (a) the number of each harvest ticket issued to a hunter must be
   entered on the hunter's license. A harvest ticket issued the previous calendar year and still valid must also be entered on
   the hunting license.
   The department does not currently have the technological ability to offer digital recording of harvest on an electronic copy
   of the license. An electronic copy of a valid license would need to include the Harvest Ticket Number(s) on the original
   license prior to the creation of that electronic image if the user were to legally engage in those activities. If the user
   intends to exclusively use the electronic copy of the valid, signed license for sport fishing for a species with an established
   annual limit, the user would need to maintain a separate paper copy of a harvest record for the purpose of immediately
   recording harvest of those species.
