CAB weighs petition to let permanent disability permits renew without yearly reapplication
Summary
CAB members heard petitions asking that permanent disability permits not require annual reapplication; members said the change could reduce paperwork for permanently disabled hunters but cautioned about safeguards against program misuse and asked to review proposed language.
The Disability Permit Program was discussed after petitioners asked the Commission to allow permanent disabilities to be grandfathered so that the holder would not need to reapply every year. The petition cited archery‑specific concerns raised at the prior Commission meeting and requested an administrative rule change to NAC 503 so permanent disability status need not be reverified annually.
CAB members acknowledged both sides: one member said it seems reasonable to reduce paperwork for someone with an obvious permanent impairment, while others urged caution to prevent program abuse. "How do we clearly define a permanent disability?" one CAB member asked. The CAB asked staff to present specific proposed language before taking any recommendation to the Commission.
