Bill > LB562

This bill modifies several provisions related to permits and stamps issued by the Game and Parks Commission. The changes include increasing fees for annual motor vehicle permits from $35 to $50 for residents and adjusting temporary permit fees from $7 to $10. The bill also modifies rules for limited hunting permits, specifically for mountain sheep, deer, antelope, wild turkey, and elk, by allowing more flexibility in permit issuance and adjusting eligibility criteria for landowners. For mountain sheep permits, the bill increases the number of additional permits that can be issued through auction from one to two. The bill updates provisions for motorboat registration, including raising the maximum cost for an aquatic invasive species stamp from $15 to $30. Additionally, the bill streamlines language around permit issuance, removing some outdated electronic permit provisions, and standardizes how permit agents can collect issuing fees. These changes aim to provide more flexibility for the Game and Parks Commission in managing permits, adjusting fees to reflect current costs, and creating more opportunities for hunters and boat owners while maintaining conservation goals.
