Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This legislation proposes to change the threshold of disability at which a resident disabled veteran receives complimentary hunting, fishing and trapping licenses from 100% or 70% if the veteran served in a combat zone during an armed conflict to 50% or more for all resident disabled veterans.  This change would result in a reduction in General Fund revenue of $25,610 in fiscal year 2013-14 and $34,146 beginning in fiscal year 2014-15.
