Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


    





    STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
    RS07291
    This legislation will correct an obsolete reference to a signed stamp, or a separate permit
    or stamp. Under the computerized licensing system, the migratory waterfowl stamp and
    upland game permit are validated on a person's license. The referenced stamp and
    permit are no longer separate documents, and the stamp does not require a signature.
    
    
                               FISCAL IMPACT
    
    None.
