MEMORANDUM

Posted:	January 8, 2013 03:14 PM
From:	Representative David S. Hickernell
To:	All House members
Subject:	Free Fishing for Persons with a Severe Physical Disability (Former House Bill 805, 2011-2012 Legislative Session)

I plan to reintroduce legislation to amend Title 30 (Fish and Boat Code) to exempt an individual with a severe physical disability from obtaining a fishing license. Currently, persons who are totally blind are exempt from purchasing a fishing license and this legislation extends that courtesy to persons with a severe physical disability. I have drafted the language to ensure that only persons who are paraplegic or similarly disabled in the lower extremities will qualify for this exemption.
