Public Act 098-0620 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning safety.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Wildlife Code is amended by adding Section | ||||
3.1-9 as follows:
| ||||
(520 ILCS 5/3.1-9 new) | ||||
Sec. 3.1-9. Youth Hunting License. | ||||
Any resident youth age 16 and under may apply to the | ||||
Department for a Youth Hunting License, which extends limited | ||||
hunting privileges. The Youth Hunting License shall be a | ||||
renewable license that shall expire on the March 31 following | ||||
the date of issuance. | ||||
For youth age 16 and under, the Youth Hunting License shall | ||||
entitle the licensee to hunt while supervised by a parent, | ||||
grandparent, or guardian who is 21 years of age or older and | ||||
has a valid Illinois hunting license. Possession of a Youth | ||||
Hunting License shall serve in lieu of a valid hunting license, | ||||
but does not exempt the licensee from compliance with the | ||||
requirements of this Code and any rules adopted under this | ||||
Code. | ||||
A youth licensed under this Section shall not hunt or carry | ||||
a hunting device, including, but not limited to, a firearm, bow | ||||
and arrow, or crossbow unless the youth is accompanied by and |
under the close personal supervision of a parent, grandparent, | ||
or guardian who is 21 years of age or older and has a valid | ||
Illinois hunting license. | ||
At age 17 years or when the youth chooses to hunt by | ||
themselves, they are required to successfully complete a hunter | ||
safety course approved by the Department prior to being able to | ||
obtain a full hunting license and subsequently hunt by | ||
themselves. | ||
In order to be approved for the Youth Hunting License, the | ||
applicant must request a Youth Hunting License from the | ||
Department and submit a $7 fee, which shall be separate from | ||
and additional to any other stamp, permit, tag, or license fee | ||
that may be required for hunting under this Code. The | ||
Department shall adopt rules for the administration of the | ||
program, but shall not require any certificate of competency or | ||
other hunting education as a condition of the Youth Hunting | ||
License.
