Concerning The Continuation Of The Funding For The Habitat Partnership Program In The Division Of Parks And Wildlife.
Under current law, an amount equal to 5% of the net sales of big game licenses used in the geographic areas represented by local habitat partnership committees from the previous calendar year is transferred from the wildlife cash fund to the habitat partnership cash fund. This transfer requirement currently repeals on July 1, 2015. Moneys in the habitat partnership cash fund are continuously appropriated to the division of parks and wildlife for the purpose of funding the habitat partnership program.
The bill continues this transfer requirement and spending authority for the habitat partnership program until July 1, 2023.
