Proposal would remove annual fishing license fees for Wisconsin seniors

The proposal would set the annual fishing license fee at $0 and remove the issuing fee. This applies to annual fishing licenses issued to Wisconsin residents age 65 or older. The text gives no start date for the fee changes.

The state would transfer money from the general fund to the conservation fund for senior fishing licenses. The calculation covers annual fishing licenses issued to resident senior citizens during each fiscal year. The transfer would equal $7 for each annual fishing license issued to a resident senior citizen that fiscal year. The secretary of administration could choose when during the fiscal year to make the transfers. The calculation would be made each fiscal year; the secretary of administration could choose the transfer intervals.
