Senate Bill 1237 Summary

  • Adds swan to the list of wildlife that residents and nonresidents can hunt with appropriate game tags, setting resident tag fees at $21.00 and nonresident tag fees at $65.75.

  • Replaces "Wildlife Management Area (WMA)" terminology with "upland game bird permit" language to clarify that the permit applies to locations where the commission requires it, not just state wildlife management areas.

  • Modifies hunter orange requirements to specify that hunters must wear 36 square inches of visible hunter orange above the waist when hunting at "locations where the commission requires an upland game bird permit" rather than only on wildlife management areas where pheasants are stocked.

  • Makes technical corrections to Section 36-409 regarding fee references and permit naming conventions related to upland game bird hunting.
