Outfitters and guides, licensing
OUTFITTERS AND GUIDES – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding outfitter and guide licensure.

RS30278C1 / S1085

The legislation moves several well-established definitions from administrative rule to statute, as they apply to terms in statute. The bill simplifies the licensing process for guides. The bill moves from the terminology of big game seasons to the proper terminology of allocated tags. The bill does not add any new requirements, registrations, or red tape but does remove areas of confusion identified during the Zero-Based Regulation rulemaking process in 2022.

This legislation will have no impact on the state's General fund or any dedicated fund or federal fund because the proposed legislation does not change any fee schedules or financially impact the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses dedicated fund.
