By Senators Hamilton, Stover, and Woodrum

[Introduced February 22, 2021; referred to the Committee on Natural Resources]

A BILL to amend and reenact §20-2-42i of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, relating to the Class LL nonresident fishing license; and providing it be issued for three consecutive days. 

Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:


Article 2. Wildlife resources.

§20-2-42i. Class LL nonresident one-day three-day fishing license.

A Class LL license is a nonresident fishing license and entitles the licensee to fish for all legal fish except trout and to take frogs in all counties of the state for three consecutive days on the calendar dates chosen by the buyer and which will be specified on the license, except as prohibited by rules of the Director or Natural Resources Commission and except when additional licenses, stamps or permits are required. To fish for trout, a Class LL licensee must purchase and carry a valid Class OO trout stamp. The fee for the license is $39. This is a base license and does not require the purchase of a prerequisite license to participate in the activities specified in this section, except as noted.


 

NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to create a nonresident three-day fishing license and to set the license price.
