Any person who is at least seventy years old and a resident of this state shall be exempt from the payment of any fees provided by the laws of the State of Nebraska and established by the commission pursuant to section 81-814.02 for the privilege of fishing or hunting in Nebraska, except that such exemption shall not extend to the privilege of commercial fishing, trapping of fur-bearing animals, or hunting for deer, antelope, wild turkey, or any other species of fish and game on which the open season is limited to a restricted number of permits or to special permits for a restricted area or game management unit. A permit issued without payment of fees as provided in this section shall be a permanent permit which shall not expire. If disabled persons are unable by reason of physical infirmities to hunt and fish in the normal manner, the commission may issue special permits without cost to those persons to hunt and fish from a vehicle, but such permits shall not authorize any person to shoot from any public highway. The commission may adopt and promulgate rules and regulations necessary to carry out this section.
