Fiscal Detail and Notes
This legislation eliminates the 3-chance and 6-chance moose application option for residents, allows people to accumulate points during years the person applies and does not receive a permit, allows people to use these points for additional chances in the moose permit lottery and allows people who are ineligible for a permit to continue purchasing applications in order to accumulate points for future lotteries.  The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife indicates there should be no net effect on General Fund revenue as a result of these provisions.
