This bill makes
changes to the rules regarding snowmobile registrations, trapping licenses
and fees paid to reinstate a suspended license or registration. It increases
the fee paid to reinstate a suspended license or registration from $25 to
$50. It expands this fee to include permits issued by the Department of
Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (IFW) and directs that these funds go to the
Landowner Relations Fund within IFW. These changes will reduce General Fund
revenue by $1,500 and increase Other Special Revenue Funds revenue by $13,000
starting in fiscal year 2021-22. The
bill includes ongoing allocations of $13,000 to IFW starting in fiscal year
2021-22 to allow for the expenditure of the additional revenue.
|
|
Any loss of
registration revenue to the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife as a
result of provisions specifying that annual snowmobile registrations
registered after May 1 but prior to July 1 are valid until June 30 of the
following year is anticipated to be minor. Any additional costs to IFW as a
result of provisions regarding the display of snowmobile registrations or
language clarifying who may obtain an adult trapping license are anticipated
to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources. |
