Florida's
law enforcement, first responders and utility workers are getting a
big thank you from the state of Florida for their lifesaving work
preparing for and responding to Hurricane Irma.
Governor
Rick Scott announced on Thursday that Florida’s law enforcement
officers and first responders won't have to buy a saltwater or
freshwater fishing license until July the 1st of next
year.
Instead,
the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will accept
official first responder identification in lieu of a Florida fishing
license.
On
top of that, The Florida Department of Environmental Protection is
offering free day-passes to Florida State Parks that can be used on
an unlimited basis until October 2018 for all law enforcement
officers, first responders and utility workers.
Governor
Scott said, Florida’s law enforcement officers and first responders
have been tirelessly working around the clock to meet the needs of
families and communities even as their own families were evacuating
or working to begin the recovery process.
He
added that we owe these brave heroes a debt of gratitude and the
license-free fishing opportunity is a gesture of appreciation and
recognition for their service to our state.
