Summary

Amends the Wildlife Code. Provides that each applicant for a State Habitat Stamp shall pay a $5 fee and receive the stamp unless the applicant is an Illinois landowner who wishes to hunt on their own land or is a spouse, child, sibling, in-law, or niece or nephew of the Illinois landowner and who permanently resides in Illinois, then the landowner or the specified family member shall be exempt from the $5 fee.

Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to Bill SB 2281 adds clarity about who is exempt from paying the $5 fee for a State Habitat Stamp. Originally, the exemption included several family members, but the revised language now specifies that only the spouse and child of the landowner are exempt, simplifying the rules. This change could reduce costs for immediate family members of landowners who hunt on their property, making it easier for them to access hunting opportunities while ensuring that the fee is applied more narrowly.
