Fiscal Detail and Notes
This resolve requires the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (IFW) to establish a stakeholder group to examine issues related to Sunday hunting, develop and complete a survey of landowners regarding Sunday hunting and report back on its findings by January 3, 2022.  The bill includes a one-time General Fund appropriation of $15,00 in fiscal year 2021-22 for IFW to hire an outside facilitator to assist the stakeholder group.  The resolve allows IFW to seek outside sources of funding to support the survey work. Whether enough outside funding can be raised to complete the work required is not known at this time.
