STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 17314
Amends existing law relating to the Department of Fish and Game
nonresident small game hunting license to correct terminology
and clarify huntable species.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no fiscal effect to the General Fund. This license is
as an annual license so correcting the title has no fiscal
effect. The deletion of pygmy rabbit from this license has no
fiscal effect because there has not been a season for pygmy
rabbit for many years. Adding new hunting opportunity for
huntable furbearers and unprotected and predatory animals is
estimated to increase sales of this license no more than 1% of
the past 5 year average sales of 4,669 licenses for a total
increase to Fish and Game funds of $3,760.
