STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS09392
The purpose of the amendment in Section 36-2108 is to change the
requirement that an applicant have a bond in place when applying
for an outfitter license. The change provides that the applicant
provide proof of eligibility for a bond, but not have an actual
bond, at the time of application.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the agency or the state. The
applicant would save money by not having to have a bond in place at
the time of application.
