An Act for veterans hunting and fishing licenses.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
Section 11 of chapter 131 of the General Laws, as appearing in the 2008 Official Edition, is hereby amended by inserting after the fifth paragraph the following paragraph:-
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no fee shall be charged for any license issued hereunder to a veteran, as defined in clause forty-three of section 7 of chapter 4 and whose last discharge or release from the armed forces of the United States was under honorable conditions and who is a resident of the commonwealth. The commonwealth shall bear the cost of such waivers, not the department.
