GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA
SESSION 1991

CHAPTER 989
SENATE BILL 1261

AN ACT TO REMOVE THE REQUIREMENT THAT A PERSON BE A RESIDENT OF THE STATE IN ORDER TO OBTAIN A HUNTING AND FISHING GUIDE LICENSE.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1.  G.S. 113-270.4(a) reads as rewritten:
"(a)	No one may serve for hire as a hunting or fishing guide without having first procured a current and valid hunting and fishing guide license.  This license is valid only for use by an individual meeting the criteria set by the Wildlife Resources Commission for issuance of the license subject to the limitations set forth in this subdivision.  Possession of the hunting and fishing guide license does not relieve the guide from meeting other applicable license requirements.  A nonresident may be licensed pursuant to this section only upon the same or similar terms that a North Carolina resident may be licensed in the nonresident's state of residence.  The Wildlife Resources Commission may enter into such reciprocal agreements with other states as are necessary to obtain a hunting and fishing guide license in North Carolina subject to the foregoing provisions."
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective upon ratification.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 20th day of July, 1992.
