Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
HB 3048 will increase licensing revenue approximately $2.6 million in year one of implementation for sections of the Division of Natural Resources funded from the sale of hunting and fishing licenses. The bill also indexes the cost of hunting and fishing licenses to the Consumer Price Index (All Goods). HB 3048 will not produce any additional revenue in FY 2005, since the effective date of the bill is January 1, 2006.
The cost to implement the change will be limited to programming time necessary to adopt changes in the license structure. It would take approximately two weeks of programming work to convert current licensing systems to the new structure at an estimated cost of $3,000.

Estimated Increase are based on the calculations below:
2005 Estimated Revenue = $0
The bill’s effective date is January 1, 2006
