Summary
SF 23‑18 lets the Natural Resources Commission waive the administrative requirement that nonresident hunters buy a doe tag when buying a buck tag, by hunting zone; sponsor called it common sense and the Senate passed it unanimously.
Senate File 23‑18, introduced by Senator Rosenboom, allows the Natural Resources Commission to waive the administrative requirement that nonresident hunters purchase a doe tag when buying a buck tag, with the waiver to be applied by hunting zone when appropriate.
Rosenboom said the change is "common sense" to avoid forcing nonresident hunters to buy a tag that is irrelevant in certain zones. There was no substantive floor debate and the Senate recorded unanimous passage (Aye 48, Nay 0).
The bill will be messaged to the House for further consideration.
