HD 2888 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act reimburse George L. Darey Inland Fisheries and Game Fund

This bill requires the state to annually reimburse the George L. Darey Inland Fisheries and Game Fund from the general fund for revenue lost due to discounted or free hunting and fishing licenses. It directly affects the fund, which manages conservation and wildlife programs, by ensuring it receives compensation for reduced license sales. The key provision mandates this reimbursement through an amendment to existing law, specifying the source (general fund) and trigger (lost revenue from discounted/free licenses). This creates a concrete, ongoing financial mechanism to offset the fund's revenue shortfalls.
