Montoucet HB No. 1072
Abstract: Authorizes the issuance of hunting and fishing licenses for a reduced fee to certain
retired members of the military.
Present law provides for certain fees to be charged for various hunting and fishing licenses.
Proposed law would allow issuance of a retired military hunting and fishing license a person who
is a retired member of the United States Armed Forces, the La. Army National Guard, or the La.
Air National Guard and was either born in Louisiana or is a bona fide Louisiana resident. The
fee for the license is $5 and it would be in lieu of basic hunting, big game, bow, primitive
firearms, and waterfowl licenses, turkey hunting stamps, WMA hunting permits, and the basic
and saltwater fishing licenses. The license also authorizes the use a crossbow or a bow that is
drawn, held, and released by mechanical means and magnified scopes may be used with
crossbows.
