A BILL to amend and reenact §20-2-42j of the Code of West Virginia,
1931, as amended, relating to allowing Class Q licensees to
obtain a Class X license without payment of fees.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That §20-2-42j of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended,
be amended and reenacted to read as follows:
ARTICLE 2. WILDLIFE RESOURCES.
§20-2-42j. Class X resident hunting, fishing and trapping
license.
A Class X license is a resident hunting, fishing and trapping
license and entitles the licensee to hunt and trap for all legal
species of wild animals and wild birds, to fish for all legal
species of fish except trout and to take frogs in all counties of
the state, except as prohibited by the rules of the Director or
Natural Resources Commission and when additional licenses, stamps or permits are required. No additional fees shall be required of
Class X licensees for a Class CS stamp. To fish for trout, a Class
X licensee must purchase and carry a valid Class O stamp or Class
O-L license. The Class X license shall be issued only to residents
or aliens lawfully residing in the United States who have been
domiciled residents of West Virginia for a period of thirty
consecutive days or more immediately prior to the date of their
application for a license. The fee for the license is thirty-three
dollars, except that a Class Q licensee shall be issued a Class X
license without the payment of any fee or fees provided in this
section. The portion of the Class X license fee equal to the
annual fee for the Class CS stamp shall be designated as
conservation stamp revenue and expended pursuant to section nine,
article two-b of this code. This is a base license and does not
require the purchase of a prerequisite license to participate in
the activities specified in this section, except as noted.
NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to allow Class Q licensees
to obtain a Class X license without payment of fees.
Strike-throughs indicate language that would be stricken from
the present law, and underscoring indicates new language that would
be added.
