Overview
Allows someone to transfer their big game permit or tag for use by a gold star child.
History
Big game animals are wild turkey, deer, elk, pronghorn, bighorn sheep, bison, peccary, bear and mountain lion (A.R.S. § 17-101(B)(1)).
A license or permit for big game hunting can only be used by the person for whom it was issued and is not transferrable except in certain situations. Specifically, the Arizona Game and Fish Commission can set conditions for someone to transfer their big game permit or tag to a qualified organization to be used by:
1) A minor child with a life-threatening medical condition or physical disability; or
2) A veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces who has a service-connected disability.
Additionally, a parent, grandparent or legal guardian may allow their minor child or grandchild to use their permit or tag to take big game (A.R.S. § 17-332).
Provisions
1. Allows someone to transfer their big game permit or tag for use by a gold star child.
2. Specifies that if the gold star child is under 14 years old, they must complete the Arizona hunter education course, or another comparable hunter education course approved by the Arizona Game and Fish Department Director, before the beginning of the hunt.
3. Defines gold star child.
