My bill is about reducing the fishing license fee for people under the age of 65. Depending on what kind of license you get, the price varies. The most expensive one is the 3 year individual code, with a cost of $71.00. Many people don’t get their fishing license because of how expensive it is.
One reason we should lower the cost is more people would be likely to get their fishing license because of the cheaper price. A lot of people complain about how high the price is for a fishing license. Lowering the price would make more people want to buy one.
Another reason is by lowering the price, more people will want to get their license, therefore, the state can make more money. More money means more funding for the DNR, public infrastructure, and habitat management. It’s a win win.
One downside is that the state might lose money at first. But, if more people get their license because of the lower cost, in the end, the state will end up making more money.
