Bill > SF5014

This bill reduces fishing license fees for persons 65 years of age and older in Minnesota, and requires the transfer of money from the general fund to the game and fish fund to cover the estimated revenue lost due to the reduced fees. Specifically, the bill amends Minnesota Statutes to set the fishing license fee for those 65 and older at $15, compared to $25 for those under 65. It also requires the commissioner of management and budget to annually transfer an estimated amount from the general fund to the game and fish fund to compensate for the reduced revenue from the lower license fees for seniors. The provisions in this bill are effective as of July 1, 2024.
