This Act 11 35 takes effect December 15, l997, and applies to licenses and 12 1 fees for hunting, fishing, fur harvesting, and related 12 2 wildlife and game activities for the calendar year beginning 12 3 January 1, l998. 12 4 EXPLANATION 12 5 This bill amends chapters 331, 483A, and 484A to 12 6 accommodate the issuance of licenses and collection of fees 12 7 for hunting, fishing, fur harvesting, and related wildlife and 12 8 game activities by the use of electronic means. 12 9 The fees for licenses currently issued by the department of 12 10 natural resources are increased by 50 cents to provide a 12 11 writing fee. A new husband and wife seasonal fishing license 12 12 for residents is added for an annual fee of $20.50. A general 12 13 hunting license for nonresidents under 18 years of age is 12 14 added for an annual fee of $25.50. The bill also increases 12 15 the fees for nonresident deer hunting licenses from $110 to 12 16 $150.50; nonresident wild turkey licenses from $55.00 to 12 17 $75.50; and nonresident fur harvester licenses from $175.50 to 12 18 $180.50. 12 19 The combined hunting and fishing license for residents and 12 20 the combined hunting, fishing, and fur harvesting license for 12 21 residents are eliminated. 12 22 The bill provides that the natural resource commission will 12 23 determine which licenses will be issued by the department, the 12 24 county recorder and the license depositaries. The director of 12 25 the department of natural resources designates the license 12 26 depositaries. Under current law, the county recorders select 12 27 the license depositaries. 12 28 This bill also changes the wildlife habitat stamp to a 12 29 wildlife habitat fee, the trout stamp to a trout fishing fee, 12 30 and the migratory waterfowl stamp to a migratory game bird fee 12 31 to facilitate the use of electronic means to issue licenses. 12 32 The bill also amends sections to provide for application 12 33 procedures and replacement procedures for licenses. 12 34 The bill strikes section 483A.30 which requires fees from 12 35 nonresident deer hunting licenses and nonresident wild turkey 13 1 hunting licenses to be used to employ additional conservation 13 2 officers. Section 483A.16 relating to issuing duplicate 13 3 licenses and section 484A.3 relating to the migratory 13 4 waterfowl stamp are also repealed. 13 5 There are also corresponding amendments to change 13 6 references from migratory waterfowl to migratory game birds 13 7 and trout stamp to trout fishing fee. 13 8 The bill takes effect December 15, l997, and applies to 13 9 licenses sold for the calendar year beginning January 1, 1998. 13 10 LSB 1280DP 77 13 11 tj/jj/8
