  1 11 the cost for the licenses, and where and for what seasons the
  1 12 licenses are valid.  The licenses may be issued in conjunction
  1 13 with the provision of lodging and other services by a
  1 14 destination park as determined by the commission by rule.
  1 15                           EXPLANATION
  1 16    This bill allows the director of the department of natural
  1 17 resources to provide up to 500 nonresident deer hunting
