Vermont may issue a free permanent fishing license to a resident with a developmental disability. The three-page packet includes a cover letter, the Statement of Disability that the applicant's health care provider completes, and the Vermont sporting license application. The provider certifies that the applicant is under their care and meets the definition in 18 V.S.A. section 9302.
The applicant fills in their details on the Statement of Disability and signs, authorizing the state to contact the provider, and completes the sporting license application. The health care provider certifies eligibility and adds a printed name, address, phone, date and signature.
