  1  1    Section 1.  Section 170.3, Code Supplement 2003, is amended
  1  2 by adding the following new subsection:
  1  3    NEW SUBSECTION.  3.  The department may impose, assess, and
  1  4 collect fees as required to administer this chapter.  However,
  1  5 the department shall not charge a person a fee that exceeds
  1  6 ten dollars.
  1  7    Sec. 2.  EFFECTIVE DATE.  This Act, being deemed of
  1  8 immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment.
  1  9                           EXPLANATION
  1 10    During the 2003 legislative session the General Assembly
  1 11 passed House File 624 (2003 Acts, chapter 149) regulating farm
  1 12 deer, including whitetail deer.  The bill effectively
  1 13 transferred regulatory authority from the department of
  1 14 natural resources under Code chapter 484 (which supervises
  1 15 hunting preserves) to the department of agriculture and land
  1 16 stewardship under new Code chapter 170.  That Code chapter
  1 17 does not currently provide for the assessment of fees.  This
  1 18 bill provides that the department may impose, assess, and
  1 19 collect fees as required to administer the chapter.  The bill
  1 20 also provides that a fee cannot exceed $10.
