As written, this
bill expands the wild turkey hunting season for calendar year 2008. As a result, on a one-time basis, the
Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife will collect an estimated
$350,000 in additional General Fund revenue in fiscal year 2007-08. The Governor's proposed General Fund
budgeted appropriations for the department exceed budgeted General Fund
revenue to be collected by the department by $1,902,136 and $2,399,297 in
fiscal years 2007-08 and 2008-09, respectively. If the total amounts of budgeted
departmental General Fund revenue approved by the 1st Session of the 123rd
Legislature exceed the appropriated amounts, the Legislature will be required
to appropriate additional General Fund amounts to meet the constitutional
requirement that the total level of General Fund appropriations must be at
least equal to the undedicated revenue collected by the department. |
