Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill eliminates the fee and issuing fee for an annual fishing license issued to a resident who has attained the age of 65 years (resident senior citizen). Under current law, the fee for such a license is $6.25 and the issuing fee is $0.75. The bill requires in each fiscal year a transfer from the general fund to the conservation fund in the amount of the number of annual fishing licenses issued to resident senior citizens in that fiscal year multiplied by $7.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
