Introduced by: Jay K. Katzen | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Exemptions from licenses to hunt, trap, or fish; members of the recognized tribes in the Commonwealth. Provides that licenses to hunt, trap, or fish are not required of Indians who (i) habitually reside on an Indian reservation, or (ii) are members of Virginia recognized tribes residing in the Commonwealth. However, such persons are required to have in their possession an identification card or paper signed by the chief of their tribe, a valid tribal identification card, written confirmation through a central tribal registry, or certification from a tribal office. Such cards, papers, confirmations, or certifications must set forth that the person named is an actual reservation resident or member of the Virginia recognized tribes and create a presumption of residence, which may be rebutted. Under current law, the exemption applies only to those Indians residing on a reservation, provided that they have in their possession an identification card signed by the chief of their reservation.
