Title

Hunting licenses, nonresidents, Conservation and Natural Resources Department authorized to enter reciprocity agreements with other states, Sec. 9-11-53.3 am'd.

Description

Under existing law, a valid nonresident hunting license is required for a nonresident of the State of Alabama to hunt in this state. Also under existing law, the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources has the authority to enter into a reciprocal agreement with the State of Florida exempting persons 65 years of age or older from state fishing and hunting license requirements.

This bill would allow the commissioner of the department to enter into a reciprocal agreement with any state to allow a nonresident person 65 years of age or older to hunt in this state without a nonresident hunting license if the person possesses a valid hunting license from his or her own state of residence.
