House Bill 1728 amends the Parks and Wildlife Code to provide for partnerships between the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and nonprofit entities that exclusively serve veterans to promote hunting and fishing by certain veterans by allowing them to hunt or fish on one day without holding the required license if accompanied by a representative of the nonprofit who holds the appropriate license. The bill requires the Parks and Wildlife Commission to establish criteria for the selection of nonprofit partners and guidelines for the representative or veteran engaging in the hunting or fishing activities.
