HB64
Revise age for discounted hunting, fishing licenses and permits
Current Status: Effective
Summary
This bill amends Ohio law to lower the eligibility age for discounted hunting and fishing licenses from 66 to 65 years for residents. It affects Ohio residents aged 65 and older, allowing them to qualify for these discounts. No penalties or exceptions are specified in the text.
Rationale
The bill supports the idea of reducing government fees for a specific age group, which aligns with the Libertarian principles of personal liberty and reduced government intervention. However, it still involves government regulation of hunting and fishing licenses, which may conflict with a more libertarian approach to personal freedoms in these activities.
Risks and Concerns
- Potential for increased government control over recreational activities
- May set a precedent for further age-based regulations
