A BILL relating to the expiration and renewal of waterfowl blind licenses in Virginia Beach.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. § 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of § 29.1-347, until such time as new waterfowl blinds are permitted to be licensed in Virginia Beach, licenses for such blinds in Virginia Beach that have expired during calendar year 2014 and thereafter may be renewed by the last licensee during the licensing period for the year following the expiration of the license. There shall be a late fee of $75 per license renewed. The Department shall notify the licensee by mail or email at the licensee's last known address of the expiration of the license and the opportunity to renew late, and the licensee may request to keep the blind in public waters until such renewal. If the license is not renewed during the licensing period for the year following the expiration of the license, the license shall not be renewed thereafter and the blind shall be removed from public waters.

Blinds in Virginia Beach shall not be required to be removed upon initial expiration if the licensee notifies the Department that he intends to renew the license.
