Committee approves bill increasing agents' fees for hunting and fishing licenses
Summary
Senate Bill 1038, which would raise the fee county clerks and agents may collect for processing hunting and fishing licenses, was recommended for passage by the Senate Finance, Ways and Means Committee. Sponsor said the bill increases the fee; the committee recommended it 10-1.
The Senate Finance, Ways and Means Committee on April 9 recommended Senate Bill 1038 for passage. Sponsor Senator Tim Bolling told the committee the bill increases the fee that county clerks and other agents may collect when issuing hunting and fishing licenses.
Bolling said agents currently collect a small processing fee (described in committee as $1 for annual and $0.50 for temporary licenses) and that the bill would raise that fee. In committee remarks the sponsor stated the amendment would increase the fee to $3 for annual licenses and $3 for temporary licenses; the transcript contains a duplication in the sponsor's phrasing and committee staff should be consulted for the exact statutory fee language.
There was no extended debate recorded in the transcript. The committee voted to recommend the bill for passage, with the clerk announcing "10 ayes, 1 no."
