SUMMARY
This amendment, which is the minority report of the committee, replaces the bill. The bill repeals the prohibition on exchanging a moose permit for consideration and directs the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife to establish an online transfer system for permits. The amendment removes the provision of the bill that directs the department to establish an online transfer system for permits, but, like the bill, the amendment repeals the prohibition on exchanging moose permits for consideration. This amendment prohibits persons other than the holders of moose permits who are exchanging hunting zones, areas or seasons to facilitate the exchange. The amendment establishes that a person who facilitates an exchange of moose permits commits a Class E crime. The amendment clarifies that the State bears no responsibility for enforcing the terms of an exchange between the permit holders.
