14         Amendment (with title amendment) 

15  Remove from the bill:  Everything after the enacting clause

17  and insert in lieu thereof:

18         Section 1.  Subsection (2) of Section 372.57, Florida

19  Statutes, 1998 Supplement, is amended to read:

20         372.57  Licenses and permits; exemptions; fees.--No

21  person, except as provided herein, shall take game, freshwater

22  fish, or fur-bearing animals within this state without having

23  first obtained a license, permit, or authorization and paid

24  the fees hereinafter set forth, unless such license is issued

25  without fee as provided in s. 372.561. Such license, permit,

26  or authorization shall authorize the person to whom it is

27  issued to take game, freshwater fish, or fur-bearing animals

28  in accordance with law and commission rules. Such license,

29  permit, or authorization is not transferable.  Each license or

30  permit must bear on its face in indelible ink the name of the

31  person to whom it is issued and other information requested by

                                  1

    Amendment No. 01 (for drafter's use only)





 1  the commission. Such license, permit, or authorization issued

 2  by the commission or any agent must be in the personal

 3  possession of the person to whom issued while taking game,

 4  freshwater fish, or fur-bearing animals. The failure of such

 5  person to exhibit such license, permit, or authorization to

 6  the commission or its wildlife officers, when such person is

 7  found taking game, freshwater fish, or fur-bearing animals, is

 8  a violation of law.  A positive form of identification is

 9  required when using an authorization, a lifetime license, a

10  5-year license, or when otherwise required by the license or

11  permit.  The lifetime licenses and 5-year licenses provided

12  herein shall be embossed with the name, date of birth, the

13  date of issuance, and other pertinent information as deemed

14  necessary by the commission.  A certified copy of the

15  applicant's birth certificate shall accompany all applications

16  for a lifetime license for residents 12 years of age and

17  younger. Each applicant for a license, permit, or

18  authorization shall provide the applicant's social security

19  number on the application form. Disclosure of social security

20  numbers obtained through this requirement shall be limited to

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

22  enforcement program and use by the commission, and as

23  otherwise provided by law.

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

29  freshwater fish in this state is $12.

22  Florida waterfowl permit, and an archery permit.  A

23  nonresident may not purchase a sportsman's license.
