13 Senate Amendment (with title amendment)
14 On page 19, between lines 7 and 8,

16 insert:
17 Section 8. 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

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, date of
12 issuance, and other pertinent information as deemed necessary
13 by the commission. A certified copy of the applicant's birth
14 certificate shall accompany each application for a lifetime
15 license for a resident 12 years of age or younger. Each
16 applicant for a license, permit, or authorization shall
17 provide the applicant's social security number on the
18 application form. Disclosure of social security numbers
19 obtained through this requirement shall be limited to the
20 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 (4) In addition to any license required by this
24 chapter, the following permits and fees for certain hunting,
25 fishing, and recreational uses, and the activities authorized
26 thereby, are:
27 (b)1. Management area permits to hunt, fish, or
28 otherwise use for outdoor recreational purposes, land owned,
29 leased, or managed by the commission or the State of Florida
30 for the use and benefit of the commission, up to $25 annually.
31 Permits, and fees thereof, for short-term use of land which is

1 owned, leased, or managed by the commission may be established
2 by rule of the commission for any activity on such lands.
3 Such permits and fees may be in lieu of or in addition to the
4 annual management area permit. Other than for hunting or
5 fishing, the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply on
6 any lands not owned by the commission, unless the commission
7 shall have obtained the written consent of the owner or
8 primary custodian of such lands.
9 2. A recreational user permit fee to hunt, fish, or
10 otherwise use for outdoor recreational purposes, land leased
11 by the commission from private nongovernmental owners, except
12 for those lands located directly north of the Apalachicola
13 National Forest, east of the Ochlockonee River until the point
14 the river meets the dam forming Lake Talquin, and south of the
15 closest federal highway. The fee for this permit shall be
16 based upon economic compensation desired by the landowner,
17 game population levels, desired hunter density, and
18 administrative costs. The permit fee shall be set by
19 commission rule on a per-acre basis. On property currently in
20 the private landowner payment program, the prior year's
21 landowner payment shall be used to augment the recreational
22 user permit fee so as to decrease the permit fee for the users
23 of that property. One minor dependent child, 16 years old or
24 under, per permittee may hunt under the supervision of the
25 permittee and is exempt from the permit fee. The spouse and
26 dependent children of a permittee are exempt from the permit
27 fee when engaged in outdoor recreational activities other than
28 hunting in the company of the permittee. Notwithstanding any
29 other provision of this chapter, there are no other
30 exclusions, exceptions, or exemptions from this permit fee.
31 The recreational user permit fee, less an administrative
