STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Eighteen
AN ACT relative to fishing and hunting licenses for permanently disabled veterans.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
346:1 Hunting, Fishing, and Trapping; Permanently Disabled Veterans. Amend RSA 214:13 to read as follows:
214:13 [Veterans, Totally and Permanently Disabled] Permanently Disabled Veterans.
I. If the applicant for a fishing, hunting, or bow and arrow license is a resident of the state, has received a discharge other than dishonorable from service in [any war or police action in which the United States has been engaged] the armed forces of the United States as defined in RSA 21:50, II and is totally and permanently disabled from such service-connected disability, the executive director shall issue a special veteran's license to said applicant. Said license shall be perpetual. The executive director shall retain the records for such licenses for a period not less than 7 years. Loss or destruction of the license after 7 years shall obligate the licensee to re-establish eligibility. A $10 administrative fee shall be charged once, upon application to the executive director for such license.
II. If the applicant for a fishing and hunting license is a resident of the state, has received a discharge other than dishonorable from service in the armed forces of the United States as defined in RSA 21:50, II and is at least 80 percent but not 100 percent permanently disabled from such service-connected disability, the executive director shall issue a lifetime license to such applicant at 50 percent of the cost of a lifetime license under RSA 214:9-c calculated pursuant to RSA 214:9-c, II.
