Michigan Senate Approves Fee Hike for Hunting and Fishing Licenses
Legislation to increase the cost of obtaining a permit to hunt and fish in Michigan has cleared the state Senate.
The bill, which would generate tens of millions of dollars in additional state revenue, still needs to clear the Michigan state House and receive the governor's signature.
- The proposed laws SB 276 and 277 would amend the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act.
- The Michigan DNR would increase the permit fee for various hunting and fishing licenses.
A fiscal analysis finds the increase would result in tens of millions of dollars in revenue for the state.
The legislation was approved following a 23-13 vote in the Michigan legislature.
