Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact

    





                            STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                                  RS07611C1
    
    The purpose of this legislation is to amend Section 36-412 to change the 
    fees for attending a hunter safety course to $8 to reimburse the 
    Department of Fish and Game for the cost of furnished materials. 
    Currently, the course cost is below the actual cost of the materials.
    
    FISCAL NOTE
    
    Approximately 10,000 students take hunter education per year. The new 
    fee structure would result in about $50,000 additionally per year to 
    reimburse the Department of Fish and Game for the educational materials.
