1533.12, and 1533.32 of the Revised Code to 2

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:

       Section 1. That sections 1533.10, 1533.11, 1533.111, 1533.12, 7
and 1533.32 of the Revised Code be amended to read as follows:8

       Sec. 1533.10.  Except as provided in this section or division 9
(A)(2) of section 1533.12 or section 1533.73 or 1533.731 of the 10
Revised Code, no person shall hunt any wild bird or wild quadruped 11
without a hunting license. Each day that any person hunts within 12
the state without procuring such a license constitutes a separate 13
offense. Except as otherwise provided in this section, every 14
applicant for a hunting license who is a resident of the state and 15
eighteen years of age or more shall procure a resident hunting 16
license or an apprentice resident hunting license, the fee for 17
which shall be eighteen dollars unless the rules adopted under 18
division (B) of section 1533.12 of the Revised Code provide for 19
issuance of a resident hunting license to the applicant free of 20
charge. Except as provided in rules adopted under division (B)(2) 21
of that section, each applicant who is a resident of this state 22
and who at the time of application is sixty-six years of age or 23
older shall procure a special senior hunting license, the fee for 24
which shall be one-half of the regular hunting license fee. Every 25
applicant who is under the age of eighteen years shall procure a 26
special youth hunting license or an apprentice youth hunting 27
license, the fee for which shall be one-half of the regular 28
hunting license fee. 29

       A resident of this state who owns lands in the state and the 30
owner's children of any age and grandchildren under eighteen years 31
of age may hunt on the lands without a hunting license. A resident 32
of any other state who owns real property in this state, and the 33
spouse and children living with the property owner, may hunt on 34
that property without a license, provided that the state of 35
residence of the real property owner allows residents of this 36
state owning real property in that state, and the spouse and 37
children living with the property owner, to hunt without a 38
license. If the owner of land in this state is a limited liability 39
company or a limited liability partnership that consists of three 40
or fewer individual members or partners, as applicable, an 41
individual member or partner who is a resident of this state and 42
the member's or partner's children of any age and grandchildren 43
under eighteen years of age may hunt on the land owned by the 44
limited liability company or limited liability partnership without 45
a hunting license. In addition, if the owner of land in this state 46
is a trust that has a total of three or fewer trustees and 47
beneficiaries, an individual who is a trustee or beneficiary and 48
who is a resident of this state and the individual's children of 49
any age and grandchildren under eighteen years of age may hunt on 50
the land owned by the trust without a hunting license. The tenant 51
and children of the tenant, residing on lands in the state, may 52
hunt on them without a hunting license. 53

       Except as otherwise provided in division (A)(1) of section 54
1533.12 of the Revised Code, every applicant for a hunting license 55
who is a nonresident of the state and who is eighteen years of age 56
or older shall procure a nonresident hunting license or an 57
apprentice nonresident hunting license, the fee for which shall be 58
one hundred twenty-four dollars unless the applicant is a resident 59
of a state that is a party to an agreement under section 1533.91 60
of the Revised Code, in which case the fee shall be eighteen 61
dollars. Apprentice resident hunting licenses, apprentice youth 62
hunting licenses, and apprentice nonresident hunting licenses are 63
subject to the requirements established under section 1533.102 of 64
the Revised Code and rules adopted pursuant to it.65

       The chief of the division of wildlife may issue a small game 66
hunting license expiring three days from the effective date of the 67
license to a nonresident of the state, the fee for which shall be 68
thirty-nine dollars. No person shall take or possess deer, wild 69
turkeys, fur-bearing animals, ducks, geese, brant, or any nongame 70
animal while possessing only a small game hunting license. A small 71
game hunting license or an apprentice nonresident hunting license 72
does not authorize the taking or possessing of ducks, geese, or 73
brant without having obtained, in addition to the small game 74
hunting license or the apprentice nonresident hunting license, a 75
wetlands habitat stamp as provided in section 1533.112 of the 76
Revised Code. A small game hunting license or an apprentice 77
nonresident hunting license does not authorize the taking or 78
possessing of deer, wild turkeys, or fur-bearing animals. A 79
nonresident of the state who wishes to take or possess deer, wild 80
turkeys, or fur-bearing animals in this state shall procure, 81
respectively, a deer or wild turkey permit as provided in section 82
1533.11 of the Revised Code or a fur taker permit as provided in 83
section 1533.111 of the Revised Code in addition to a nonresident 84
hunting license, an apprentice nonresident hunting license, a 85
special youth hunting license, or an apprentice youth hunting 86
license, as applicable, as provided in this section.87

       No person shall procure or attempt to procure a hunting 88
license by fraud, deceit, misrepresentation, or any false 89
statement.90

       This section does not authorize the taking and possessing of 91
deer or wild turkeys without first having obtained, in addition to 92
the hunting license required by this section, a deer or wild 93
turkey permit as provided in section 1533.11 of the Revised Code 94
or the taking and possessing of ducks, geese, or brant without 95
first having obtained, in addition to the hunting license required 96
by this section, a wetlands habitat stamp as provided in section 97
1533.112 of the Revised Code.98

       This section does not authorize the hunting or trapping of 99
fur-bearing animals without first having obtained, in addition to 100
a hunting license required by this section, a fur taker permit as 101
provided in section 1533.111 of the Revised Code.102

       No hunting license shall be issued unless it is accompanied 103
by a written explanation of the law in section 1533.17 of the 104
Revised Code and the penalty for its violation, including a 105
description of terms of imprisonment and fines that may be 106
imposed.107

       No hunting license, other than an apprentice hunting license, 108
shall be issued unless the applicant presents to the agent 109
authorized to issue the license a previously held hunting license 110
or evidence of having held such a license in content and manner 111
approved by the chief, a certificate of completion issued upon 112
completion of a hunter education and conservation course approved 113
by the chief, or evidence of equivalent training in content and 114
manner approved by the chief. A previously held apprentice hunting 115
license does not satisfy the requirement concerning the 116
presentation of a previously held hunting license or evidence of 117
it.118

       No person shall issue a hunting license, except an apprentice 119
hunting license, to any person who fails to present the evidence 120
required by this section. No person shall purchase or obtain a 121
hunting license, other than an apprentice hunting license, without 122
presenting to the issuing agent the evidence required by this 123
section. Issuance of a hunting license in violation of the 124
requirements of this section is an offense by both the purchaser 125
of the illegally obtained hunting license and the clerk or agent 126
who issued the hunting license. Any hunting license issued in 127
violation of this section is void.128

       The chief, with approval of the wildlife council, shall adopt 129
rules prescribing a hunter education and conservation course for 130
first-time hunting license buyers, other than buyers of apprentice 131
hunting licenses, and for volunteer instructors. The course shall 132
consist of subjects including, but not limited to, hunter safety 133
and health, use of hunting implements, hunting tradition and 134
ethics, the hunter and conservation, the law in section 1533.17 of 135
the Revised Code along with the penalty for its violation, 136
including a description of terms of imprisonment and fines that 137
may be imposed, and other law relating to hunting. Authorized 138
personnel of the division or volunteer instructors approved by the 139
chief shall conduct such courses with such frequency and at such 140
locations throughout the state as to reasonably meet the needs of 141
license applicants. The chief shall issue a certificate of 142
completion to each person who successfully completes the course 143
and passes an examination prescribed by the chief.144

       Sec. 1533.11.  (A) Except as provided in this section or 145
section 1533.731 of the Revised Code, no person shall hunt deer on 146
lands of another without first obtaining an annual deer permit. 147
Except as provided in this section, no person shall hunt wild 148
turkeys on lands of another without first obtaining an annual wild 149
turkey permit. Each applicant for a deer or wild turkey permit 150
shall pay an annual fee of twenty-three dollars for each permit 151
unless the rules adopted under division (B) of section 1533.12 of 152
the Revised Code provide for issuance of a deer or wild turkey 153
permit to the applicant free of charge. Except as provided in 154
rules adopted under division (B)(2) of that section, each 155
applicant who is a resident of this state and who at the time of 156
application is sixty-six years of age or older shall procure a 157
senior deer or wild turkey permit, the fee for which shall be 158
one-half of the regular deer or wild turkey permit fee. Each 159
applicant who is under the age of eighteen years shall procure a 160
youth deer or wild turkey permit, the fee for which shall be 161
one-half of the regular deer or wild turkey permit fee. Except as 162
provided in division (A)(2) of section 1533.12 of the Revised 163
Code, a deer or wild turkey permit shall run concurrently with the 164
hunting license. The money received shall be paid into the state 165
treasury to the credit of the wildlife fund, created in section 166
1531.17 of the Revised Code, exclusively for the use of the 167
division of wildlife in the acquisition and development of land 168
for deer or wild turkey management, for investigating deer or wild 169
turkey problems, and for the stocking, management, and protection 170
of deer or wild turkey. Every person, while hunting deer or wild 171
turkey on lands of another, shall carry the person's deer or wild 172
turkey permit and exhibit it to any enforcement officer so 173
requesting. Failure to so carry and exhibit such a permit 174
constitutes an offense under this section. The chief of the 175
division of wildlife shall adopt any additional rules the chief 176
considers necessary to carry out this section and section 1533.10 177
of the Revised Code.178

        An owner who is a resident of this state or an owner who is 179
exempt from obtaining a hunting license under section 1533.10 of 180
the Revised Code and the children of the owner of lands in this 181
state may hunt deer or wild turkey thereon without a deer or wild 182
turkey permit. If the owner of land in this state is a limited 183
liability company or a limited liability partnership that consists 184
of three or fewer individual members or partners, as applicable, 185
an individual member or partner who is a resident of this state 186
and the member's or partner's children of any age may hunt deer or 187
wild turkey on the land owned by the limited liability company or 188
limited liability partnership without a deer or wild turkey 189
permit. In addition, if the owner of land in this state is a trust 190
that has a total of three or fewer trustees and beneficiaries, an 191
individual who is a trustee or beneficiary and who is a resident 192
of this state and the individual's children of any age may hunt 193
deer or wild turkey on the land owned by the trust without a deer 194
or wild turkey permit. The tenant and children of the tenant may 195
hunt deer or wild turkey on lands where they reside without a deer 196
or wild turkey permit.197

       (B) A deer or wild turkey permit is not transferable. No 198
person shall carry a deer or wild turkey permit issued in the name 199
of another person.200

       (C) The wildlife refunds fund is hereby created in the state 201
treasury. The fund shall consist of money received from 202
application fees for deer permits that are not issued. Money in 203
the fund shall be used to make refunds of such application fees.204

       (D) If the division establishes a system for the electronic 205
submission of information regarding deer or wild turkey that are 206
taken, the division shall allow the owner and the children of the 207
owner of lands in this state to use the owner's name or address 208
for purposes of submitting that information electronically via 209
that system.210

       Sec. 1533.111.  Except as provided in this section or 211
division (A)(2) of section 1533.12 of the Revised Code, no person 212

first obtaining some type of an annual fur taker permit. Each 214
applicant for a fur taker permit or an apprentice fur taker permit 215
shall pay an annual fee of fourteen dollars for the permit, except 216
as otherwise provided in this section or unless the rules adopted 217
under division (B) of section 1533.12 of the Revised Code provide 218
for issuance of a fur taker permit to the applicant free of 219
charge. Except as provided in rules adopted under division (B)(2) 220
of that section, each applicant who is a resident of this state 221
and who at the time of application is sixty-six years of age or 222
older shall procure a special senior fur taker permit, the fee for 223
which shall be one-half of the regular fur taker permit fee. Each 224
applicant under the age of eighteen years shall procure a special 225
youth fur taker permit or an apprentice youth fur taker permit, 226
the fee for which shall be one-half of the regular fur taker 227
permit fee. Each type of fur taker permit shall run concurrently 228
with the hunting license. The money received shall be paid into 229
the state treasury to the credit of the fund established in 230
section 1533.15 of the Revised Code. Apprentice fur taker permits 231
and apprentice youth fur taker permits are subject to the 232
requirements established under section 1533.102 of the Revised 233
Code and rules adopted pursuant to it.234

       No fur taker permit shall be issued unless it is accompanied 235
by a written explanation of the law in section 1533.17 of the 236
Revised Code and the penalty for its violation, including a 237
description of terms of imprisonment and fines that may be 238
imposed.239

of wildlife, a certificate of completion issued upon completion of 246
a trapper education course approved by the chief, or evidence of 247
equivalent training in content and manner approved by the chief. A 248
previously held apprentice hunting license, apprentice fur taker 249
permit, or apprentice youth fur taker permit does not satisfy the 250
requirement concerning the presentation of a previously held 251
hunting license or fur taker permit or evidence of such a license 252
or permit.253

       No person shall issue a fur taker permit, other than an 254

by this section. No person shall purchase or obtain a fur taker 257
permit, other than an apprentice fur taker permit or an apprentice 258
youth fur taker permit, without presenting to the issuing agent 259
the evidence required by this section. Issuance of a fur taker 260
permit in violation of the requirements of this section is an 261
offense by both the purchaser of the illegally obtained permit and 262
the clerk or agent who issued the permit. Any fur taker permit 263
issued in violation of this section is void.264

       The chief, with approval of the wildlife council, shall adopt 265
rules prescribing a trapper education course for first-time fur 266
taker permit buyers, other than buyers of apprentice fur taker 267
permits or apprentice youth fur taker permits, and for volunteer 268
instructors. The course shall consist of subjects that include, 269
but are not limited to, trapping techniques, animal habits and 270
identification, trapping tradition and ethics, the trapper and 271
conservation, the law in section 1533.17 of the Revised Code along 272
with the penalty for its violation, including a description of 273
terms of imprisonment and fines that may be imposed, and other law 274
relating to trapping. Authorized personnel of the division of 275
wildlife or volunteer instructors approved by the chief shall 276
conduct the courses with such frequency and at such locations 277
throughout the state as to reasonably meet the needs of permit 278
applicants. The chief shall issue a certificate of completion to 279
each person who successfully completes the course and passes an 280
examination prescribed by the chief.281

       Every person, while hunting or trapping fur-bearing animals 282
on lands of another, shall carry the person's fur taker permit 283
with the person's signature written on the permit. Failure to 284
carry such a signed permit constitutes an offense under this 285
section. The chief shall adopt any additional rules the chief 286
considers necessary to carry out this section.287

        An owner who is a resident of this state or an owner who is 288
exempt from obtaining a hunting license under section 1533.10 of 289
the Revised Code and the children of the owner of lands in this 290
state may hunt or trap fur-bearing animals thereon without a fur 291
taker permit. If the owner of land in this state is a limited 292
liability company or a limited liability partnership that consists 293
of three or fewer individual members or partners, as applicable, 294

and the member's or partner's children of any age may hunt or trap 296
fur-bearing animals on the land owned by the limited liability 297
company or limited liability partnership without a fur taker 298
permit. In addition, if the owner of land in this state is a trust 299
that has a total of three or fewer trustees and beneficiaries, an 300
individual who is a trustee or beneficiary and who is a resident 301
of this state and the individual's children of any age may hunt or 302
trap fur-bearing animals on the land owned by the trust without a 303
fur taker permit. The tenant and children of the tenant may hunt 304
or trap fur-bearing animals on lands where they reside without a 305
fur taker permit.306

       A fur taker permit is not transferable. No person shall carry 307
a fur taker permit issued in the name of another person.308

       A fur taker permit entitles a nonresident to take from this 309
state fur-bearing animals taken and possessed by the nonresident 310
as provided by law or division rule.311

       Sec. 1533.12.  (A)(1) Except as otherwise provided in 312

permit, or stamp is required under this chapter first shall obtain 316
the requisite license, permit, or stamp. Such a person is eligible 317
to obtain a resident hunting or fishing license regardless of 318
whether the person qualifies as a resident of this state. To 319
obtain a resident hunting or fishing license, the person shall 320
present a card or other evidence identifying the person as being 321
on active duty in the armed forces of the United States and as 322

of the kind lawfully permitted to be taken or caught within the 326
state, may hunt any wild bird or wild quadruped lawfully permitted 327
to be hunted within the state, and may trap fur-bearing animals 328
lawfully permitted to be trapped within the state, without 329
procuring a fishing license, a hunting license, a fur taker 330
permit, or a wetlands habitat stamp required by this chapter, 331
provided that the person shall carry on the person when fishing, 332
hunting, or trapping, a card or other evidence identifying the 333
person as being on active duty in the armed forces of the United 334

any of the hunting, fishing, and trapping laws of this state.336

       In order to hunt deer or wild turkey, any such person shall 337
obtain a deer or wild turkey permit, as applicable, under section 338
1533.11 of the Revised Code. However, the person need not obtain a 339

license to a resident of this state or of any other state. The fee 437
for such a license shall be fifty-five per cent of the amount 438
established under this section for a tourist's license, rounded up 439
to the nearest whole dollar. A one-day fishing license shall allow 440
the holder to take or catch fish by angling in the waters in the 441
state, engage in fishing in those waters, or take or catch frogs 442
or turtles in those waters for one day without obtaining an annual 443
license or a tourist's license under this section. At the request 444
of a holder of a one-day fishing license who wishes to obtain an 445
annual license, a clerk or agent authorized to issue licenses 446
under section 1533.13 of the Revised Code, not later than the last 447
day on which the one-day license would be valid if it were an 448
annual license, shall credit the amount of the fee paid for the 449
one-day license toward the fee charged for the annual license if 450
so authorized by the chief. The clerk or agent shall issue the 451
annual license upon presentation of the one-day license and 452
payment of a fee in an amount equal to the difference between the 453
fee for the annual license and the fee for the one-day license.454

       Unless otherwise provided by division rule, each annual 455
license shall begin on the first day of March of the current year 456
and expire on the last day of February of the following year.457

       No person shall alter a fishing license or possess a fishing 458
license that has been altered.459

       No person shall procure or attempt to procure a fishing 460
license by fraud, deceit, misrepresentation, or any false 461
statement.462

        A resident of this state who owns land over, through, upon, 463
or along which any water flows or stands, except where the land is 464
in or borders on state parks or state-owned lakes, together with 465
the members of the immediate families of such owners, may take 466
frogs and turtles and may take or catch fish of the kind permitted 467
to be taken or caught therefrom without procuring a license 468
provided for in this section. This exemption extends to tenants 469
actually residing upon such lands and to the members of the 470
immediate families of the tenants. A resident of any other state 471
who owns land in this state over, through, upon, or along which 472
any water flows or stands, except where the land is in or borders 473
on state parks or state-owned lakes, and the spouse and children 474
living with the owner, may take frogs and turtles and may take or 475
catch fish of the kind permitted to be taken or caught from that 476
water without obtaining a license under this section, provided 477
that the state of residence of the owner allows residents of this 478
state owning real property in that state, and the spouse and 479
children living with such a property owner, to take frogs and 480
turtles and take or catch fish without a license. If the owner of 481
such land in this state is a limited liability company or a 482
limited liability partnership that consists of three or fewer 483
individual members or partners, as applicable, an individual 484
member or partner who is a resident of this state and the member's 485
or partner's children of any age may take frogs and turtles and 486
may take or catch fish of the kind permitted to be taken or caught 487
therefrom without procuring a license provided for in this 488
section. In addition, if the owner of such land in this state is a 489
trust that has a total of three or fewer trustees and 490
beneficiaries, an individual who is a trustee or beneficiary and 491
who is a resident of this state and the individual's children of 492
any age may take frogs and turtles and may take or catch fish of 493
the kind permitted to be taken or caught therefrom without 494
procuring a license provided for in this section. Residents of 495
state or county institutions, charitable institutions, and 496
military homes in this state may take frogs and turtles without 497
procuring the required license, provided that a member of the 498
institution or home has an identification card, which shall be 499
carried on that person when fishing.500

       Every fisher required to be licensed, while fishing or taking 501
or attempting to take frogs or turtles, shall carry the license 502
and exhibit it to any person. Failure to so carry and exhibit the 503
license constitutes an offense under this section.504

       Section 2. That existing sections 1533.10, 1533.11, 1533.111, 505
1533.12, and 1533.32 of the Revised Code are hereby repealed.506
