Fiscal Detail and Notes
Implementing a mandatory $25 reinstatement fee on violators of certain license or permit rules is expected to result in a minor revenue increase to the General Fund. The elimination of a surcharge on delinquent agents and the granting of a free special antlerless deer permit to those who cannot use their lower limbs is expected to result in a minor loss of revenue to the General Fund.
Any additional costs to the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife for adopting a rule listing waters containing certain state heritage fish and reporting to the Legislature annually are expected to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
