FUNDS/FUNDING: Provides for revenue reductions from free and discounted recreational hunting and fishing licenses (EN INCREASE GF EX See Note)
HB 795 makes minor technical adjustments to the language of a bill that reduces revenue from free and discounted hunting and fishing licenses. The amendment changes the word "enacted" to "issued" to clarify when these licenses are counted for revenue purposes. It also adds the word "on" to specify that the changes take effect on July 1, 2024. These updates do not alter the core policy of lowering fees for recreational licenses but ensure the legislation is written clearly. The bill directly affects the state's revenue calculation from hunting and fishing activities.
