2017-S873 - Sponsor Memo

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S873

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the tax law, in relation to establishing a tax credit
for certain fishing and hunting fees paid by members of the United
States armed forces in active service

 PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :

This act establishes that state residents who are members of the US
armed forces in active service may claim a tax credit for any fees
paid for hunting and or fishing licenses, privileges, tags, and
permits issued pursuant to title seven of article eleven of the EnCon
law.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :

Section 1 establishes that state residents who are members of the US
armed forces in active service may claim a tax credit for any fees
paid for hunting and or fishing licenses, privileges, tags, and
permits issued pursuant to title seven of article eleven of the EnCon
law.

Section 2 is the effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :

This act would enable certain state residents to receive a tax credit
paying certain license fees, based on their military service to the
state, their age, and/or recognized tribal affiliation. They deserve
the small assistance and opportunity for relaxation and pleasure that
a free or reduced hunting or fishing license will provide. Similarly,
our active armed forces personnel and members of the state militia
deserve equal recognition for their dedication and service to our
country and the freedom and personal liberties we enjoy because of
their service and protection.
