13 Senate Amendment (with title amendment)
14 On page 19, between lines 13 and 14;
15
16 insert:
17 Section 14. Paragraph (b) of subsection (4) of section
18 372.57, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
19 372.57 Licenses and permits; exemptions; fees.--No
20 person, except as provided herein, shall take game, freshwater
21 fish, or fur-bearing animals within this state without having
22 first obtained a license, permit, or authorization and paid
23 the fees hereinafter set forth, unless such license is issued
24 without fee as provided in s. 372.561. Such license, permit,
25 or authorization shall authorize the person to whom it is
26 issued to take game, freshwater fish, or fur-bearing animals
27 in accordance with law and commission rules. Such license,
28 permit, or authorization is not transferable. Each license or
29 permit must bear on its face in indelible ink the name of the
30 person to whom it is issued and other information requested by
31 the commission. Such license, permit, or authorization issued

Amendment No.
1 by the commission or any agent must be in the personal
2 possession of the person to whom issued while taking game,
3 freshwater fish, or fur-bearing animals. The failure of such
4 person to exhibit such license, permit, or authorization to
5 the commission or its wildlife officers, when such person is
6 found taking game, freshwater fish, or fur-bearing animals, is
7 a violation of law. A positive form of identification is
8 required when using an authorization, a lifetime license, a
9 5-year license, or when otherwise required by the license or
10 permit. The lifetime licenses and 5-year licenses provided
11 herein shall be embossed with the name, date of birth, the
12 date of issuance, and other pertinent information as deemed
13 necessary by the commission. A certified copy of the
14 applicant's birth certificate shall accompany all applications
15 for a lifetime license for residents 12 years of age and
16 younger.
17 (4) In addition to any license required by this
18 chapter, the following permits and fees for certain hunting,
19 fishing, and recreational uses, and the activities authorized
20 thereby, are:
21 (b)1. Management area permits to hunt, fish, or
22 otherwise use for outdoor recreational purposes, land owned,
23 leased, or managed by the commission or the State of Florida
24 for the use and benefit of the commission, up to $25 annually.
25 Permits, and fees thereof, for short-term use of land which is
26 owned, leased, or managed by the commission may be established
27 by rule of the commission for any activity on such lands.
28 Such permits and fees may be in lieu of or in addition to the
29 annual management area permit. Other than for hunting or
30 fishing, the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply on
31 any lands not owned by the commission, unless the commission

1 shall have obtained the written consent of the owner or
2 primary custodian of such lands.
3 2. A recreational user permit fee to hunt, fish, or
4 otherwise use for outdoor recreational purposes, land leased
5 by the commission from private nongovernmental owners, except
6 for those lands located directly north of the Apalachicola
7 National Forest, east of the Ochlockonee River until the point
8 the river meets the dam forming Lake Talquin, and south of the
9 closest federal highway. The fee for this permit shall be
10 based upon economic compensation desired by the landowner,
11 game population levels, desired hunter density, and
12 administrative costs. The permit fee shall be set by
13 commission rule on a per-acre basis. On property currently in
14 the private landowner payment program, the prior year's
15 landowner payment shall be used to augment the landowner lease
16 fee so as to decrease the permit fee for the users of that
17 property. The spouse and dependent children of a permittee are
18 exempt from the permit fee when engaged in outdoor
19 recreational activities other than hunting in the company of
20 the permittee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
21 chapter, there are no other exclusions, exceptions, or
22 exemptions from this permit fee. The landowner lease fee, less
23 an administrative permit fee of up to $25 per permit, shall be
24 remitted to the landowner as provided in the lease agreement
25 for each area.
