Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill will eliminate all alien hunting and fishing licenses issued by the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (IFW) and would allow persons who are not United States citizens to purchase nonresident hunting and fishing licenses instead. Starting January 1, 2019, the purchase of nonresident hunting and fishing licenses, which are less expensive than alien hunting and fishing licenses in all categories, will reduce General Fund revenue by $5,132 in fiscal year 2018-19 and by $10,264 annually thereafter.
