Bill > HF3876

This bill reduces fishing license fees for persons 65 years of age and older in Minnesota. Specifically, it creates a new lower license fee of $15 for those 65 and older, compared to the standard $25 fee for those under 65. To offset the reduced revenue from the lower senior fees, the bill requires the Commissioner of Management and Budget to annually transfer an estimated amount from the general fund to the game and fish fund. The bill also makes other minor changes to clarify which revenue sources are credited to the game and fish fund. The bill's provisions are effective starting July 1, 2024.
