2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Discounted hunting and fishing licenses for seniors
Beginning upon publication in the Kansas Register, Kansas residents age 65 or older qualify for a discounted combination hunting and fishing license. The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks must offer this senior license. Its fee cannot exceed one-eighth (12.5%) of the general lifetime combination hunting and fishing license fee.
More kids qualify for lower-cost lifetime licenses
Beginning upon publication in the Kansas Register, Kansas expands its kids lifetime hunting and fishing license to ages 6 through 15. Children must meet Kansas's legal residency definition. Fees cannot exceed $300 for children age 5 or younger, or $400 for ages 6 through 15. The $400 cap is $100 below the previous $500 maximum; actual fees can be lower. Someone else can pay the fee for the child. The law removes the program's July 1, 2032, expiration, keeping this lifetime license option available after that date. The wildlife and parks secretary must report license counts each year to the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Budget Committee and Senate Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources.
