Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill allows the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (IFW) to issue the holder of a registration certificate and a set of gold star family registration plates a complimentary license to hunt, trap and fish including permits, stamps and other permissions needed to hunt. The IFW estimates that 75 gold star plate holders have purchased hunting, fishing or trapping licenses in the past. If all 75 choose to apply for a complimentary license, General Fund revenue would decrease by $3,225 beginning in fiscal year 2019-20.
