BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:

Section 1. That sections 1533.10, 1533.11, 1533.111, 1533.12,	7
and 1533.32 of the Revised Code be amended to read as follows:	8

Sec. 1533.10.  Except as provided in this section or division	9
(A)(2) of section 1533.12 or section 1533.73 or 1533.731 of the	10
Revised Code, no person shall hunt any wild bird or wild quadruped	11
without a hunting license. Each day that any person hunts within	12
the state without procuring such a license constitutes a separate	13
offense. Except as otherwise provided in this section, every	14
applicant for a hunting license who is a resident of the state and	15
eighteen years of age or more shall procure a resident hunting	16
license or an apprentice resident hunting license, the fee for	17
which shall be eighteen dollars unless the rules adopted under	18
division (B) of section 1533.12 of the Revised Code provide for	19
issuance of a resident hunting license to the applicant free of	20
charge. Except as provided in rules adopted under division (B)(2)	21
of that section, each applicant who is a resident of this state	22
and who at the time of application is sixty-six years of age or	23
older shall procure a special senior hunting license, the fee for	24
which shall be one-half of the regular hunting license fee. Every	25
applicant who is under the age of eighteen years shall procure a	26
special youth hunting license or an apprentice youth hunting	27
license, the fee for which shall be one-half of the regular	28
hunting license fee.	29

A resident of this state who owns lands in the state and the	30
owner's children of any age and grandchildren under eighteen years	31
of age may hunt on the lands without a hunting license. A resident	32
of any other state who owns real property in this state, and the	33
spouse and children living with the property owner, may hunt on	34
that property without a license, provided that the state of	35
residence of the real property owner allows residents of this	36
state owning real property in that state, and the spouse and	37
children living with the property owner, to hunt without a	38
license. If the owner of land in this state is a limited liability	39
company or a limited liability partnership that consists of three	40
or fewer individual members or partners, as applicable, an	41
individual member or partner who is a resident of this state and	42
the member's or partner's children of any age and grandchildren	43
under eighteen years of age may hunt on the land owned by the	44
limited liability company or limited liability partnership without	45
a hunting license. In addition, if the owner of land in this state	46
is a trust that has a total of three or fewer trustees and	47
beneficiaries, an individual who is a trustee or beneficiary and	48
who is a resident of this state and the individual's children of	49
any age and grandchildren under eighteen years of age may hunt on	50
the land owned by the trust without a hunting license. The tenant	51
and children of the tenant, residing on lands in the state, may	52
hunt on them without a hunting license.	53

Except as otherwise provided in division (A)(1) of section	54
1533.12 of the Revised Code, every applicant for a hunting license	55
who is a nonresident of the state and who is eighteen years of age	56
or older shall procure a nonresident hunting license or an	57
apprentice nonresident hunting license, the fee for which shall be	58
one hundred twenty-four dollars unless the applicant is a resident	59
of a state that is a party to an agreement under section 1533.91	60
of the Revised Code, in which case the fee shall be eighteen	61
dollars. Apprentice resident hunting licenses, apprentice youth	62
hunting licenses, and apprentice nonresident hunting licenses are	63
subject to the requirements established under section 1533.102 of	64
the Revised Code and rules adopted pursuant to it.	65

The chief of the division of wildlife may issue a small game	66
hunting license expiring three days from the effective date of the	67
license to a nonresident of the state, the fee for which shall be	68
thirty-nine dollars. No person shall take or possess deer, wild	69
turkeys, fur-bearing animals, ducks, geese, brant, or any nongame	70
animal while possessing only a small game hunting license. A small	71
game hunting license or an apprentice nonresident hunting license	72
does not authorize the taking or possessing of ducks, geese, or	73
brant without having obtained, in addition to the small game	74
hunting license or the apprentice nonresident hunting license, a	75
wetlands habitat stamp as provided in section 1533.112 of the	76
Revised Code. A small game hunting license or an apprentice	77
nonresident hunting license does not authorize the taking or	78
possessing of deer, wild turkeys, or fur-bearing animals. A	79
nonresident of the state who wishes to take or possess deer, wild	80
turkeys, or fur-bearing animals in this state shall procure,	81
respectively, a deer or wild turkey permit as provided in section	82
1533.11 of the Revised Code or a fur taker permit as provided in	83
section 1533.111 of the Revised Code in addition to a nonresident	84
hunting license, an apprentice nonresident hunting license, a	85
special youth hunting license, or an apprentice youth hunting	86
license, as applicable, as provided in this section.	87

No person shall procure or attempt to procure a hunting	88
license by fraud, deceit, misrepresentation, or any false	89
statement.	90

This section does not authorize the taking and possessing of	91
deer or wild turkeys without first having obtained, in addition to	92
the hunting license required by this section, a deer or wild	93
turkey permit as provided in section 1533.11 of the Revised Code	94
or the taking and possessing of ducks, geese, or brant without	95
first having obtained, in addition to the hunting license required	96
by this section, a wetlands habitat stamp as provided in section	97
1533.112 of the Revised Code.	98

This section does not authorize the hunting or trapping of	99
fur-bearing animals without first having obtained, in addition to	100
a hunting license required by this section, a fur taker permit as	101
provided in section 1533.111 of the Revised Code.	102

No hunting license shall be issued unless it is accompanied	103
by a written explanation of the law in section 1533.17 of the	104
Revised Code and the penalty for its violation, including a	105
description of terms of imprisonment and fines that may be	106
imposed.	107

No hunting license, other than an apprentice hunting license,	108
shall be issued unless the applicant presents to the agent	109
authorized to issue the license a previously held hunting license	110
or evidence of having held such a license in content and manner	111
approved by the chief, a certificate of completion issued upon	112
completion of a hunter education and conservation course approved	113
by the chief, or evidence of equivalent training in content and	114
manner approved by the chief. A previously held apprentice hunting	115
license does not satisfy the requirement concerning the	116
presentation of a previously held hunting license or evidence of	117
it.	118

No person shall issue a hunting license, except an apprentice	119
hunting license, to any person who fails to present the evidence	120
required by this section. No person shall purchase or obtain a	121
hunting license, other than an apprentice hunting license, without	122
presenting to the issuing agent the evidence required by this	123
section. Issuance of a hunting license in violation of the	124
requirements of this section is an offense by both the purchaser	125
of the illegally obtained hunting license and the clerk or agent	126
who issued the hunting license. Any hunting license issued in	127
violation of this section is void.	128

The chief, with approval of the wildlife council, shall adopt	129
rules prescribing a hunter education and conservation course for	130
first-time hunting license buyers, other than buyers of apprentice	131
hunting licenses, and for volunteer instructors. The course shall	132
consist of subjects including, but not limited to, hunter safety	133
and health, use of hunting implements, hunting tradition and	134
ethics, the hunter and conservation, the law in section 1533.17 of	135
the Revised Code along with the penalty for its violation,	136
including a description of terms of imprisonment and fines that	137
may be imposed, and other law relating to hunting. Authorized	138
personnel of the division or volunteer instructors approved by the	139
chief shall conduct such courses with such frequency and at such	140
locations throughout the state as to reasonably meet the needs of	141
license applicants. The chief shall issue a certificate of	142
completion to each person who successfully completes the course	143
and passes an examination prescribed by the chief.	144

Sec. 1533.11.  (A) Except as provided in this section or	145
section 1533.731 of the Revised Code, no person shall hunt deer on	146
lands of another without first obtaining an annual deer permit.	147
Except as provided in this section, no person shall hunt wild	148
turkeys on lands of another without first obtaining an annual wild	149
turkey permit. Each applicant for a deer or wild turkey permit	150
shall pay an annual fee of twenty-three dollars for each permit	151
unless the rules adopted under division (B) of section 1533.12 of	152
the Revised Code provide for issuance of a deer or wild turkey	153
permit to the applicant free of charge. Except as provided in	154
rules adopted under division (B)(2) of that section, each	155
applicant who is a resident of this state and who at the time of	156
application is sixty-six years of age or older shall procure a	157
senior deer or wild turkey permit, the fee for which shall be	158
one-half of the regular deer or wild turkey permit fee. Each	159
applicant who is under the age of eighteen years shall procure a	160
youth deer or wild turkey permit, the fee for which shall be	161
one-half of the regular deer or wild turkey permit fee. Except as	162
provided in division (A)(2) of section 1533.12 of the Revised	163
Code, a deer or wild turkey permit shall run concurrently with the	164
hunting license. The money received shall be paid into the state	165
treasury to the credit of the wildlife fund, created in section	166
1531.17 of the Revised Code, exclusively for the use of the	167
division of wildlife in the acquisition and development of land	168
for deer or wild turkey management, for investigating deer or wild	169
turkey problems, and for the stocking, management, and protection	170
of deer or wild turkey. Every person, while hunting deer or wild	171
turkey on lands of another, shall carry the person's deer or wild	172
turkey permit and exhibit it to any enforcement officer so	173
requesting. Failure to so carry and exhibit such a permit	174
constitutes an offense under this section. The chief of the	175
division of wildlife shall adopt any additional rules the chief	176
considers necessary to carry out this section and section 1533.10	177
of the Revised Code.	178

An owner who is a resident of this state or an owner who is	179
exempt from obtaining a hunting license under section 1533.10 of	180
the Revised Code and the children of the owner of lands in this	181
state may hunt deer or wild turkey thereon without a deer or wild	182
turkey permit. If the owner of land in this state is a limited	183
liability company or a limited liability partnership that consists	184
of three or fewer individual members or partners, as applicable,	185
an individual member or partner who is a resident of this state	186
and the member's or partner's children of any age may hunt deer or	187
wild turkey on the land owned by the limited liability company or	188
limited liability partnership without a deer or wild turkey	189
permit. In addition, if the owner of land in this state is a trust	190
that has a total of three or fewer trustees and beneficiaries, an	191
individual who is a trustee or beneficiary and who is a resident	192
of this state and the individual's children of any age may hunt	193
deer or wild turkey on the land owned by the trust without a deer	194
or wild turkey permit. The tenant and children of the tenant may	195
hunt deer or wild turkey on lands where they reside without a deer	196
or wild turkey permit.	197

(B) A deer or wild turkey permit is not transferable. No	198
person shall carry a deer or wild turkey permit issued in the name	199
of another person.	200

(C) The wildlife refunds fund is hereby created in the state	201
treasury. The fund shall consist of money received from	202
application fees for deer permits that are not issued. Money in	203
the fund shall be used to make refunds of such application fees.	204

(D) If the division establishes a system for the electronic	205
submission of information regarding deer or wild turkey that are	206
taken, the division shall allow the owner and the children of the	207
owner of lands in this state to use the owner's name or address	208
for purposes of submitting that information electronically via	209
that system.	210

Sec. 1533.111.  Except as provided in this section or	211
division (A)(2) of section 1533.12 of the Revised Code, no person	212
shall hunt or trap fur-bearing animals on land of another without	213
first obtaining some type of an annual fur taker permit. Each	214
applicant for a fur taker permit or an apprentice fur taker permit	215
shall pay an annual fee of fourteen dollars for the permit, except	216
as otherwise provided in this section or unless the rules adopted	217
under division (B) of section 1533.12 of the Revised Code provide	218
for issuance of a fur taker permit to the applicant free of	219
charge. Except as provided in rules adopted under division (B)(2)	220
of that section, each applicant who is a resident of this state	221
and who at the time of application is sixty-six years of age or	222
older shall procure a special senior fur taker permit, the fee for	223
which shall be one-half of the regular fur taker permit fee. Each	224
applicant under the age of eighteen years shall procure a special	225
youth fur taker permit or an apprentice youth fur taker permit,	226
the fee for which shall be one-half of the regular fur taker	227
permit fee. Each type of fur taker permit shall run concurrently	228
with the hunting license. The money received shall be paid into	229
the state treasury to the credit of the fund established in	230
section 1533.15 of the Revised Code. Apprentice fur taker permits	231
and apprentice youth fur taker permits are subject to the	232
requirements established under section 1533.102 of the Revised	233
Code and rules adopted pursuant to it.	234

No fur taker permit shall be issued unless it is accompanied	235
by a written explanation of the law in section 1533.17 of the	236
Revised Code and the penalty for its violation, including a	237
description of terms of imprisonment and fines that may be	238
imposed.	239

No fur taker permit, other than an apprentice fur taker	240
permit or an apprentice youth fur taker permit, shall be issued	241
unless the applicant presents to the agent authorized to issue a	242
fur taker permit a previously held hunting license or trapping or	243
fur taker permit or evidence of having held such a license or	244
permit in content and manner approved by the chief of the division	245
of wildlife, a certificate of completion issued upon completion of	246
a trapper education course approved by the chief, or evidence of	247
equivalent training in content and manner approved by the chief. A	248
previously held apprentice hunting license, apprentice fur taker	249
permit, or apprentice youth fur taker permit does not satisfy the	250
requirement concerning the presentation of a previously held	251
hunting license or fur taker permit or evidence of such a license	252
or permit.	253

No person shall issue a fur taker permit, other than an	254
apprentice fur taker permit or an apprentice youth fur taker	255
permit, to any person who fails to present the evidence required	256
by this section. No person shall purchase or obtain a fur taker	257
permit, other than an apprentice fur taker permit or an apprentice	258
youth fur taker permit, without presenting to the issuing agent	259
the evidence required by this section. Issuance of a fur taker	260
permit in violation of the requirements of this section is an	261
offense by both the purchaser of the illegally obtained permit and	262
the clerk or agent who issued the permit. Any fur taker permit	263
issued in violation of this section is void.	264

The chief, with approval of the wildlife council, shall adopt	265
rules prescribing a trapper education course for first-time fur	266
taker permit buyers, other than buyers of apprentice fur taker	267
permits or apprentice youth fur taker permits, and for volunteer	268
instructors. The course shall consist of subjects that include,	269
but are not limited to, trapping techniques, animal habits and	270
identification, trapping tradition and ethics, the trapper and	271
conservation, the law in section 1533.17 of the Revised Code along	272
with the penalty for its violation, including a description of	273
terms of imprisonment and fines that may be imposed, and other law	274
relating to trapping. Authorized personnel of the division of	275
wildlife or volunteer instructors approved by the chief shall	276
conduct the courses with such frequency and at such locations	277
throughout the state as to reasonably meet the needs of permit	278
applicants. The chief shall issue a certificate of completion to	279
each person who successfully completes the course and passes an	280
examination prescribed by the chief.	281

Every person, while hunting or trapping fur-bearing animals	282
on lands of another, shall carry the person's fur taker permit	283
with the person's signature written on the permit. Failure to	284
carry such a signed permit constitutes an offense under this	285
section. The chief shall adopt any additional rules the chief	286
considers necessary to carry out this section.	287

An owner who is a resident of this state or an owner who is	288
exempt from obtaining a hunting license under section 1533.10 of	289
the Revised Code and the children of the owner of lands in this	290
state may hunt or trap fur-bearing animals thereon without a fur	291
taker permit. If the owner of land in this state is a limited	292
liability company or a limited liability partnership that consists	293
of three or fewer individual members or partners, as applicable,	294
an individual member or partner who is a resident of this state	295
and the member's or partner's children of any age may hunt or trap	296
fur-bearing animals on the land owned by the limited liability	297
company or limited liability partnership without a fur taker	298
permit. In addition, if the owner of land in this state is a trust	299
that has a total of three or fewer trustees and beneficiaries, an	300
individual who is a trustee or beneficiary and who is a resident	301
of this state and the individual's children of any age may hunt or	302
trap fur-bearing animals on the land owned by the trust without a	303
fur taker permit. The tenant and children of the tenant may hunt	304
or trap fur-bearing animals on lands where they reside without a	305
fur taker permit.	306

A fur taker permit is not transferable. No person shall carry	307
a fur taker permit issued in the name of another person.	308

A fur taker permit entitles a nonresident to take from this	309
state fur-bearing animals taken and possessed by the nonresident	310
as provided by law or division rule.	311

Sec. 1533.12.  (A)(1) Except as otherwise provided in	312
division (A)(2) of this section, every person on active duty in	313
the armed forces of the United States who is stationed in this	314
state and who wishes to engage in an activity for which a license,	315
permit, or stamp is required under this chapter first shall obtain	316
the requisite license, permit, or stamp. Such a person is eligible	317
to obtain a resident hunting or fishing license regardless of	318
whether the person qualifies as a resident of this state. To	319
obtain a resident hunting or fishing license, the person shall	320
present a card or other evidence identifying the person as being	321
on active duty in the armed forces of the United States and as	322
being stationed in this state.	323

(2) Every person on active duty in the armed forces of the	324
United States, while on leave or furlough, may take or catch fish	325
of the kind lawfully permitted to be taken or caught within the	326
state, may hunt any wild bird or wild quadruped lawfully permitted	327
to be hunted within the state, and may trap fur-bearing animals	328
lawfully permitted to be trapped within the state, without	329
procuring a fishing license, a hunting license, a fur taker	330
permit, or a wetlands habitat stamp required by this chapter,	331
provided that the person shall carry on the person when fishing,	332
hunting, or trapping, a card or other evidence identifying the	333
person as being on active duty in the armed forces of the United	334
States, and provided that the person is not otherwise violating	335
any of the hunting, fishing, and trapping laws of this state.	336

In order to hunt deer or wild turkey, any such person shall	337
obtain a deer or wild turkey permit, as applicable, under section	338
1533.11 of the Revised Code. However, the person need not obtain a	339
hunting license in order to obtain such a permit.	340

(B) The chief of the division of wildlife shall provide by	341
rule adopted under section 1531.10 of the Revised Code all of the	342
following:	343

the manner prescribed by and on forms provided by the chief.	356

(2) Every resident of the state who was born on or before	357
December 31, 1937,is sixty-five years of age or older shall be	358

charge when application is made to the chief in the manner	362
prescribed by and on forms provided by the chief.	363

(3) Every resident of state or county institutions,	364

license free of charge when application is made to the chief in	373
the manner prescribed by and on forms provided by the chief. The	374
person who is assisting the mobility impaired or blind person may	375
assist in taking or catching fish of the kind permitted to be	376
taken or caught without procuring the license required under	377
section 1533.32 of the Revised Code, provided that only one line	378

The fee for an annual license shall be thirty-nine dollars	413
for a resident of a state that is not a party to an agreement	414
under section 1533.91 of the Revised Code. The fee for an annual	415
license shall be eighteen dollars for a resident of a state that	416

license to a resident of this state or of any other state. The fee	437
for such a license shall be fifty-five per cent of the amount	438
established under this section for a tourist's license, rounded up	439
to the nearest whole dollar. A one-day fishing license shall allow	440
the holder to take or catch fish by angling in the waters in the	441
state, engage in fishing in those waters, or take or catch frogs	442
or turtles in those waters for one day without obtaining an annual	443
license or a tourist's license under this section. At the request	444
of a holder of a one-day fishing license who wishes to obtain an	445
annual license, a clerk or agent authorized to issue licenses	446
under section 1533.13 of the Revised Code, not later than the last	447
day on which the one-day license would be valid if it were an	448
annual license, shall credit the amount of the fee paid for the	449
one-day license toward the fee charged for the annual license if	450
so authorized by the chief. The clerk or agent shall issue the	451
annual license upon presentation of the one-day license and	452
payment of a fee in an amount equal to the difference between the	453
fee for the annual license and the fee for the one-day license.	454

Unless otherwise provided by division rule, each annual	455
license shall begin on the first day of March of the current year	456
and expire on the last day of February of the following year.	457

No person shall alter a fishing license or possess a fishing	458
license that has been altered.	459

No person shall procure or attempt to procure a fishing	460
license by fraud, deceit, misrepresentation, or any false	461
statement.	462

A resident of this state who owns land over, through, upon,	463
or along which any water flows or stands, except where the land is	464
in or borders on state parks or state-owned lakes, together with	465
the members of the immediate families of such owners, may take	466
frogs and turtles and may take or catch fish of the kind permitted	467
to be taken or caught therefrom without procuring a license	468
provided for in this section. This exemption extends to tenants	469
actually residing upon such lands and to the members of the	470
immediate families of the tenants. A resident of any other state	471
who owns land in this state over, through, upon, or along which	472
any water flows or stands, except where the land is in or borders	473
on state parks or state-owned lakes, and the spouse and children	474
living with the owner, may take frogs and turtles and may take or	475
catch fish of the kind permitted to be taken or caught from that	476
water without obtaining a license under this section, provided	477
that the state of residence of the owner allows residents of this	478
state owning real property in that state, and the spouse and	479
children living with such a property owner, to take frogs and	480
turtles and take or catch fish without a license. If the owner of	481
such land in this state is a limited liability company or a	482
limited liability partnership that consists of three or fewer	483
individual members or partners, as applicable, an individual	484
member or partner who is a resident of this state and the member's	485
or partner's children of any age may take frogs and turtles and	486
may take or catch fish of the kind permitted to be taken or caught	487
therefrom without procuring a license provided for in this	488
section. In addition, if the owner of such land in this state is a	489
trust that has a total of three or fewer trustees and	490
beneficiaries, an individual who is a trustee or beneficiary and	491
who is a resident of this state and the individual's children of	492
any age may take frogs and turtles and may take or catch fish of	493
the kind permitted to be taken or caught therefrom without	494
procuring a license provided for in this section. Residents of	495
state or county institutions, charitable institutions, and	496
military homes in this state may take frogs and turtles without	497
procuring the required license, provided that a member of the	498
institution or home has an identification card, which shall be	499
carried on that person when fishing.	500

Every fisher required to be licensed, while fishing or taking	501
or attempting to take frogs or turtles, shall carry the license	502
and exhibit it to any person. Failure to so carry and exhibit the	503
license constitutes an offense under this section.	504

Section 2. That existing sections 1533.10, 1533.11, 1533.111,	505
1533.12, and 1533.32 of the Revised Code are hereby repealed.	506
