Representative Penry, prime sponsor, explained that House Bill 06-1130 exempts formerly deployed members of the armed forces from hunting and fishing license fees. The following are the terms of the exemption:

● the exemption will be available to members of any branch of the United States armed forces, reservists, and Colorado National Guard members;
● service members must have been deployed abroad or mobilized by the President of the United States within the prior two years;
● service members must be Colorado residents; and
● members must file a written request with proof of deployment.

Representative Penry explained that military personnel may take advantage of the waived fees for a period equal to the term of their service abroad or the length of their mobilization.
