Relating to: sharp-tailed grouse hunting permits and making an appropriation. (FE)

SB 1060 modifies how sharp-tailed grouse hunting permits are managed and funded. It directs $7 from each permit's processing fee toward permit administration and grouse management/research (specifically under new section 20.370). The bill also updates permit allocation rules: applicants earn preference points for prior unissued permits, with random selection used when demand exceeds supply, and establishes separate resident/nonresident permit quotas that can be reallocated if demand is low in one category. Processing fees for these permits are adjusted to $9.75 (section 29.563 (14)(a) 3.).
