Comments on: Free Hunting and Fishing Licenses for Veterans with Disabilities Looked at in House http://www.mucc.org/2012/02/free-hunting-and-fishing-licenses-for-veteran-with-disabilities-looked-at-in-house/ Defending the rights of Michigan's Hunters, Anglers and Trappers Fri, 17 May 2013 03:22:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Amy Trotter http://www.mucc.org/2012/02/free-hunting-and-fishing-licenses-for-veteran-with-disabilities-looked-at-in-house/#comment-414 Amy Trotter Wed, 14 Mar 2012 19:34:00 +0000 http://www.mucc.org/?p=1180#comment-414 The bill defines disabled veteran as “(a) A resident who has been determined by the United States department of veterans affairs to be permanently and totally disabled as a result of military service and entitled to veterans’ benefits at the 100% rate, for a disability other than blindness. (b) A resident rated by the United States department of veterans affairs as individually unemployable.”

I assumed “resident” meant resident of Michigan (which is the standard definition in Michigan Compiled Laws). If Rep Hughes’ has a different intent, they may need to amend the bill to clarify.

The E-mail reply I just received from Holly Hughes states that there is no residency requirement in the Bill (5292) and she Thanks us for our service.
