The bill would require the Department of Fish and Wildlife to collect all relevant and appropriate information necessary to justify the amount of the sport fishing license fees, including information about enforcement costs. The bill would require the department to submit to the Legislature a written report on the implementation of the new licensing period that also includes the information collected to justify the amount of the fees for licenses issued for the new licensing period.

The provisions of this bill would be operative beginning January 1, 2020, until January 1, 2025, except for the change regarding the Automated License Data System, which would be operative on January 1, 2018.
