| Fiscal Detail and Notes | ||||||
| Changing certain aspects of allowable hunting activities and required licensure will have the net effect of increasing General Fund revenue collected by the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. The estimated increases are $6,080 in fiscal year 2007-08 and $44,000 in each fiscal year thereafter. In addition, to reflect the intent of the bill that certain increases in revenue must be used to fund studies related to the harvesting of black bears, the Resource Management Services program within the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife will require additional General Fund appropriations in the amounts of $6,080 and $44,000 in fiscal years 2007-08 and 2008-09, respectively. | ||||||
