Ok first of all this in no way affects fishermen, or people who have previously had a sporting or hunting liscence. Who does it affect you ask? It affects those people who have never had a hunting or sporting liscence in this state, who passed a handgun or long gun safety course. They will now need to take a hunting safety course, this is not a bad thing. Previously they were exempt fro the hunter safety course.
