Bryan, I emailed the thread to Bill and this is his response:

As a non-profit civic service organization, they can get an exemption from the license requirement for a one day event. Hopefully he calls me. Some of those have gone to schools for things like this. And if the governor signs the bill, SB-241 included provisions for an exemption for students taking a secondary school class with fishing included in its curriculum – but that’ll be a while yet.

Thanks,

Bill
