New proposals include increasing the daily canvasback limit from one to two. Opening dates have been adjusted to start on Saturdays.
 
The Game and Fish has several license proposals: Designating 80 percent of the limited quota sandhill crane quota to residents (currently residents and nonresidents draw against the same quota); expanding the Super Tag Raffle application period from July 15 to July 1 of the following year; creating a resident lifetime archery license; and allowing for the reservation of all full price big or trophy game licenses.  
 
The Game and Fish is proposing to allow boaters to present their aquatic invasive species decal receipt, including electronic copies on a smart phone, in lieu of the decal for 15 days following purchase. Another proposal would allow owners of more than one non-motorized watercraft to purchase only the number of decals needed for the number of boats they have on the water at one time and transfer AIS decals between non-motorized watercraft they own.
