§ 215-10. Section 215:10 Apprentice Guide License.

I. Any person who wishes to become a hunting or fishing guide but who has not completed the written and oral board requirements to become a licensed guide as required in RSA 215:2, may purchase an apprentice guide license. Additional requirements for an individual to qualify for the apprentice guide license shall include passing a criminal background check and certification in first-aid and CPR before an application may be submitted. A person holding a valid apprentice guide license, along with the proper license for the activity they will be assisting with, may guide in activities, including hunting or fishing, only when accompanied by a properly licensed guide who is 18 years of age or older. The fees for a resident or non-resident apprentice guide license shall be set in rules pursuant to RSA 541-A, as provided in RSA 215:4. II. The properly licensed hunting or fishing guide, who is 18 years of age or older, accompanying the apprentice shall be fully accountable for any and all damage incurred or for any violations which may be committed by the apprentice while guiding. The apprentice guide license shall not be used as proof of a previous license under RSA 214:23-a, I or II. An apprentice guide license may be purchased only once in the lifetime of the applicant wishing to guide.
