Monday, Feb. 27, and Tuesday, Feb. 28, were crossover day for the Indiana House and Senate in the legislature. Crossover means that if a bill did not pass out of its house of origin, then it is essentially defeated for the year.
Indiana’s 2023 has been quiet for sportsmen, but here are a few bills of interest.
SB 184 allows a Department of Natural Resources licensing agent to charge an additional $0.25 processing fee and a 1.96% fee to cover credit card processing costs associated with purchasing a license.
HB 1150 provides that the Director of the Department of Natural Resources shall designate four days a year as free hunting days for critically disabled veterans and youth hunters.
