New state law helps our military

The state of Wisconsin is taking a step to accommodate our state residents serving in the military.

The Legislature has approved and Governor Doyle has signed into law a bill that extends to military members in the state on leave or former residents the same privileges as current residents for the purposes of DNR hunting or fishing approval. Under previous Wisconsin law, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) had to consider a person not a resident of the state and in the military and stationed in this state a resident for the purpose of issuing him or her hunting, fishing, or trapping approval. Under the fee structure for fish and game approvals, a resident pays less for the same or equivalent approval as does a nonresident.

Assembly Bill 296 that was signed into law requires the DNR consider a person currently not a resident of this state but was a resident of this state at the time he or she entered the military, a resident for the purpose of issuing him or her a hunting or fishing license.

It is a small but appropriate gesture, the least we can do for our military.
