|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
(a) Stamp requirements The Secretary shall require an electronic stamp issued by a State under this subchapter—
|
||
|
||
(1) to have the same format as any other license, validation, or privilege the State issues under the automated licensing system of the State; and
|
||
|
||
(2) to specify identifying features of the licensee that are adequate to enable Federal, State, and other law enforcement officers to identify the holder.
|
||
|
||
(b) Recognition of electronic stamp Any electronic stamp issued by a State under this subchapter shall—
|
||
|
||
(1) bestow upon the licensee the same privileges as are bestowed by an actual stamp;
|
||
|
||
(2) be recognized nationally as a valid Federal migratory bird hunting and conservation stamp; and
|
||
|
||
(3) authorize the licensee to hunt migratory waterfowl in any other State, in accordance with the laws of the other State governing that hunting.
|
||
|
||
(c) Duration An electronic stamp issued by a State shall be valid through the first June 30 that occurs after the date of issuance of the electronic stamp by the State.
