Section 502.045 - Reciprocal agreements with adjoining states for hunting and fishing licenses1. The Commission is authorized to enter into reciprocal hunting and fishing license agreements with corresponding state or county officers of adjoining states pertaining to licensing for hunting and fishing residents of the State of Nevada and adjoining states upon lands and waters forming the boundary between the State of Nevada and adjoining states. Such agreements may include, but are not limited to, provisions by which each state shall honor the license of the other only when the licensee carries with him or her a tag purchased from the other state or when there is affixed to the license a stamp purchased from the other state, the charge for the tag or stamp being set by mutual agreement of the states. Such agreements may further include, but are not limited to, provisions specifying the portions of boundary land or waters to which the agreements apply and providing penalties for violations of the regulations promulgated pursuant to the agreements. All regulations so made must be established and published in the same manner as other hunting and fishing regulations.2. As it pertains to fishing, it is the primary purpose of this section to provide a method whereby the fishing opportunities afforded by the Colorado River, Lake Mead, Lake Mohave, Lake Topaz and Lake Tahoe may be mutually enjoyed by the residents of Nevada and the residents of adjoining states, and it is not intended to cover the waters of rivers which transverse laterally the border of the State of Nevada.3. Notwithstanding the provisions of NRS 503.290 or any other law, in order to effect conformity with the laws and regulations of an adjoining state which is a party to such an agreement, the Commission may, by regulation, authorize the use of hunting and fishing devices and equipment, otherwise prohibited by Nevada law, on lands and in waters forming the subject of such an agreement. All regulations so made must be established and published in the same manner as other hunting and fishing regulations.4. This section must not be construed to abrogate, alter or annul any interstate agreement or pact concerning reciprocal fishing licenses which was executed before March 4, 1955.[1:23:1949; A 1955, 84]-(NRS A 1959, 362; 1989, 1779)[1:23:1949; A 1955, 84] - (NRS A 1959, 362; 1989, 1779)
