Plain-language change summary

The latest version of Bill SB 914 introduces a new section that defines who qualifies as a "bona fide equity member" or "bona fide equity partner" in limited liability companies and partnerships for the purpose of special hunting licenses. This change is significant because it sets specific criteria for these individuals, ensuring that only committed members with a long-term stake can apply for these licenses. This aims to promote responsible hunting practices and maintain the integrity of wildlife management.
