State agencies (existing): natural resources; certain department of natural resources sales agents; modify minimum sales threshold. Amends 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.101 - 324.90106) by adding sec. 43547a.
This bill modifies Michigan's Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to protect the licensing status of authorized agents who sell hunting and fishing licenses. Under the new provision, the Department of Natural Resources cannot refuse to renew an agent's authorization solely because they did not meet a specific sales volume, provided they have held the authorization for at least five years and sold at least $1,000 worth of licenses or permits in the previous year. The change directly affects long-term agents who may have experienced a decline in sales due to market conditions or other factors, ensuring their licenses are not lost based on revenue thresholds alone.
