My daughter-in-law is legally blind. She likes to go fishing about once a year. Is there a license she needs to get or is her state ID sufficant?

A person who is legally blind is exempt from needing a fishing license. I have posted the Indiana Code below.
IC 14-22-11-8 Fishing license and trout - salmon stamp requirements; exceptions
Sec. 8. (a) This section does not apply to the following:
(1) A person who is:
(A) a resident of Indiana; and
(B) an individual born before April 1, 1943.
(2) A person who is less than eighteen (18) years of age.
(3) A person who is legally blind.
(4) A person who is a resident patient of a state mental institution.
(5) A person who is:
(A) a resident of a health facility (as defined in IC 16-18-2-167) licensed in Indiana; and
(B) taking part in a supervised activity of the health facility.
(6) A person who:
(A) is a resident of Indiana; and
(B) has a developmental disability (as defined by IC 12-7-2-61).
(7) A person whose only participation in fishing is to assist an individual described in subdivision (3), (4), (5), or (6).
(8) A resident of Indiana who fishes during a free sport fishing day designated under IC 14-22-18.
(b) Every person must have a fishing license in the person's possession when fishing in:
(1) waters containing state owned fish;
(2) waters of the state; or
(3) boundary waters of the state.
(c) Every person must have a valid electronically generated trout-salmon stamp in the person's possession to legally fish for or take trout or salmon in:
