SUMMARY

 
This bill, modeled on a similar power vested in the
Commissioner of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, allows the
Commissioner of Conservation to create dedicated accounts for the
deposit of money received from the sale of general merchandise
products such as t-shirts, audio and video recordings, coffee
mugs, tote bags and calendars. The dedicated accounts may also
be used for the deposit of money donated to the Department of
Conservation to support specific programs carried out by the
department. The department may also accept donations of goods
and services to support specific programs carried out by the
department.
