13         Senate Amendment (with title amendment) 

14         On page 23, between lines 9 and 10,

15

16  insert:

17         Section 13.  Paragraph (b) of subsection (2) of section

18  372.57, Florida Statutes, 1998 Supplement, 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

                                  1

    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. Each applicant for a license, permit, or

17  authorization shall provide the applicant's social security

18  number on the application form. Disclosure of social security

19  numbers obtained through this requirement shall be limited to

20  the purpose of administration of the Title IV-D child support

21  enforcement program and use by the commission, and as

22  otherwise provided by law.

23         (2)  For residents and nonresidents, the license and

24  fees for noncommercial fishing and for hunting and trapping in

25  this state, and the activity authorized thereby, are as

26  follows:

27         (b)1.  A fishing license for a nonresident to take

28  freshwater fish in this state for 7 consecutive days is $15.

29         2.  A fishing license for a nonresident to take

30  freshwater fish for 3 consecutive days is $5.

31         Section 14.  Section 372.5711, Florida Statutes, is

                                  2
