Description

Riparian stationary blinds. Establishes time periods for a person to obtain a stationary blind license. A riparian landowner or his lessee or permittee seeking to license a riparian stationary blind that was not licensed by him the previous year may obtain a license beginning February 1 through June 15. The license would require the licensee to erect a stake or blind, to which the seasonal license plate is affixed, at the blind site by June 30 and replace any such stake with a blind by November 1.

A riparian landowner or his lessee or permittee who licensed a riparian stationary blind the previous year may obtain a license for the blind beginning February 1 through August 15. The license would require the licensee to affix the seasonal license plate to a stake or blind at the blind site by August 31 and replace any such stake with a blind by November 1.

A person seeking a nonriparian license for a stationary blind that he licensed the previous year as a nonriparian stationary blind may purchase a license beginning July 1 through August 15. The license would require the licensee to erect a stake or blind, to which the seasonal license plate is affixed, at the blind site by August 31 and replace any such stake with a blind by November 1. A stationary blind or a site not licensed posted by August 31 can be licensed as a nonriparian stationary blind by another person from September 1 through October 15, with erection of the blind required by November 1.

The bill has an effective date of January 1, 2014.
