Committee approves amendment to state duck stamp bill; forwards bill to appropriations
Summary
An amendment to the state duck stamp bill (SB 2216) was approved and the committee moved the amended bill with a due-pass recommendation to appropriations; the fiscal note lists $264,000 in revenue for the biennium.
The committee adopted an amendment to Senate Bill 2216, the state duck stamp measure, and voted to refer the amended bill to the Appropriations Committee with a due-pass recommendation.
Chairman Patton said the amendment was mostly technical and clarified that the stamp is issued electronically and was adjusted to allow nonresident hunters to be included. The fiscal note attached to the bill estimates revenue of $264,000 for the biennium.
Senator Gerhardt moved to adopt the Department-proposed amendment; the clerk recorded 6 ayes, 0 nays on the amendment. Senator Beard then moved a due-pass recommendation for the amended bill, referring it to appropriations; the committee recorded 6 ayes, 0 nays and the bill will proceed to Appropriations for review of the fiscal effects.
Committee members noted the amendment's technical nature and the need to send the bill to appropriations because the revenue estimate exceeds the committee's $200,000 threshold for referral.
