AN ACT CONCERNING FISHING LICENSES FOR DISABLED VETERANS.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:

Section 1. Section 26-29b of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective October 1, 2010):

No fee shall be charged for any hunting, sport fishing or trapping license issued under this chapter to any physically disabled person, and such license shall be a lifetime license not subject to the expiration provisions of section 26-35. For the purposes of this section, a "physically disabled person" [is] means (1) any person, including a veteran of the armed forces, as defined in section 27-103, whose disability consists of the loss of one or more limbs or the permanent loss of the use of one or more limbs, and (2) any veteran of said armed forces whose disability consists of the permanent impairment of the use of any part or function of the body. A physically disabled person shall submit to the commissioner a certification, signed by a licensed physician, of such disability. No fee shall be charged for any hunting or sport fishing license issued under this chapter to any physically disabled person who is not a resident of this state if such person is a resident of a state in which a physically disabled person from Connecticut will not be required to pay a fee for a hunting or sport fishing license, and such license shall be a lifetime license not subject to the expiration provisions of section 26-35.

This act shall take effect as follows and shall amend the following sections:
