Committee OKs free game and fish licenses for Purple Heart recipients
CHEYENNE – Purple Heart recipients would get lifetime state bird, small game and fishing licenses free of charge under a bill approved Wednesday by a committee.
Senate File 90 hit a rough patch while it was in the Senate: It had not initially been referred to the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Sen. Bruce Burns, R-Sheridan, had argued the bill needed to be re-referred since it would cost the state extra money. But with just 100 Purple Heart recipients expected to take advantage of the bill, that overall cost would be less than $5,000.
Ultimately Senate Appropriations voted 3-2 on a “do not pass” recommendation for SF 90. Despite that, the bill cleared third reading in the Senate by a 29-1 vote.
