    Based upon articulable facts that a person is engaged in fishing or hunting activities, fish and wildlife officers have the authority to temporarily stop the person and check for valid licenses, tags, permits, stamps, or catch record cards, and to inspect all fish and wildlife in possession as well as the equipment being used to ensure compliance with the requirements of this title.  For licenses purchased over the internet or telephone, fish and wildlife officers may require the person to exhibit a driver's license or other photo identification.

 

    Sec. 2.  RCW 77.32.420 and 2000 c 107 s 272 are each amended to read as follows:

    Recreational licenses are not transferable.  Upon request of a fish and wildlife officer, ex officio fish and wildlife officer, or authorized fish and wildlife employee, a person hunting for game animals and furbearers, digging for, fishing for, or possessing shellfish, or seaweed or fishing for or possessing food fish or game fish for personal use shall exhibit the required recreational license and write his or her signature for comparison with the signature on the license.  A person who has purchased a license over the internet or by telephone may be required to also exhibit a valid driver's license, or other photo identification.  Failure to comply with the request is prima facie evidence that the person does not have a license or is not the person named on the license."
