Ramone DESCRIPTION: AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 7 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO
EXEMPTIONS OF LICENSING REQUIREMENTS.
|
ASSUMPTIONS:
1.
Effective
upon the signature of the Governor.
2. This Act provides hunting and fishing
license exemption (not trapping) to all persons who have a severe, chronic
mental or physical disability. As the
person having these disabilities is often unable to participate in hunting and
fishing requirements without assistance, any person providing attendant
services for these individuals is also temporarily exempt.
3. The fiscal impact of this Act is
indeterminable. Although, there will be
an estimated decrease in revenue, there is no calculable means to estimate the
decrease in revenue.
4. The revenues generated from the sale
of annual fishing and hunting licenses are Appropriated Special Funds
(ASF). These funds are used for
maintenance expenses associated with state parks. For each fishing and hunting licenses sold,
the Delaware Department of Natural Resources receives $3 in federal funds.
