S257 - Appropriations Act of 2017. (SL 2017-57)

Overview: Sec. 13A.3 of S.L. 2017-257 amends the statutory limit on increases in fees for hunting, fishing, trapping and other activity licenses issued and administered by the Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC) to allow a fee increase to reflect the total increase in the Consumer Price Index since the last fee revision. The original statute capped fee increases at the annual increase in the Consumer Price Index averaged over the last five years, which encouraged WRC to adopt relatively small annual increases in fees or have its inflation-adjusted fee receipts diminish over time.

This section became effective July 1, 2017.
