HURRICANE KATRINA VICTIMS ELIGIBLE FOR LICENSE REFUNDS FROM G&F

CHEYENNE – Gulf Coast residents who were impacted by Hurricane Katrina are eligible to get refunds for their Wyoming big game licenses.

                The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission emergency regulation to help victims of the hurricane also applies to federal, state and local government employees who have been dispatched to help with the disaster. 

                Prior to the emergency rule, natural disasters were not listed as a reason license refunds could be issued in Game and Fish regulation, said Ron Arnold, Game and Fish chief fiscal officer.

                Hurricane Katrina victims requesting a refund should send a copy of their Wyoming big game license along with a statement of damage suffered or other reason preventing them from using the license to: License Refund, Wyoming Game and Fish Department, 5400 Bishop Blvd., Cheyenne, WY 82006. Government employees should send evidence of their duty on their official agency letterhead.

                Immediate family members can also request the license refund for a missing relative by requesting an affidavit by writing the same address or by calling (307) 777-4516.

                License refunds for military personnel and persons suffering fatalities or disabilities were already covered in Game and Fish regulation. 

                The complete emergency regulation is on the Game and Fish Web site at . For more information contact Arnold at (307) 777-4516.
