The ad committee voted unanimously to advance a bill that clarifies tagging requirements for commercial hunts.
Senator Zachary told the committee the amendment was intended to remove confusion over which animals require a $10 tag and which are covered by no-fee tags for other species, particularly exotics. He said the Department of Wildlife helped draft language to make clear that the $10 tags are for native male wildlife and that male exotic or feral species would be managed under the no-fee classification for their category.
The committee recorded a 12–0 vote to give the bill a due pass. Supporters said the change reduces regulatory headaches for commercial hunting operations; no opposition speakers were recorded in the transcript.
What’s next: The bill will proceed with the committee’s due-pass recommendation.
