SCO1272 By McIlhinney. Increases certain hunting license fees issued by the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
* November 24, 2015 09:59 AM
* Sen. Charles McIlhinney
* Memo #15 - Hunting License Fee Increase
* In the near future I intend to introduce legislation that would
* increase certain hunting license fees issued by the Pennsylvania Game
* Commission. The legislation will provide for the following increases:
*
* Adult resident hunting
* $19 to $29
*
* Bear hunting resident
* $15 to $20
*
* Bear hunting nonresident
* $35 to $40
*
* Antlerless deer resident
* $5 to $10
*
* Antlerless deer nonresident
* $25 to $40
*
* Archery deer resident
* $15 to $20
*
* Archery deer nonresident
* $25 to $40
*
* Muzzleloader deer resident
* $10 to $20
*
* Muzzleloader deer nonresident
* $20 to $40
*
* Adult nonresident hunting
* $100 to $150
*
* Seven-day nonresident small game
* $30 to $50
* Adult resident furtaker
* $19 to $29
*
* Adult nonresident furtaker
* $80 to $100
*
* Migratory game bird resident
* $2 to $5
*
* Migratory game bird nonresident
* $5 to $10
*
* Special wild turkey resident
* $20 to $25
*
* Special wild turkey nonresident
* $40 to $50
*
*
*
* New categories of licenses:
*
* Senior nonresident hunting
* $100
*
* Senior nonresident furtaker
* $80
*
* Senior nonresident combo hunting and furtaker
$150
*
* Ultimate outdoor combo (bear, archery, muzzleloader, furtaker, migratory game bird, special wild turkey)
*
* resident
* $110
*
* nonresident
* $350
*
* The Game Commission is responsible for managing 480 species of birds
* and mammals throughout the Commonwealth. Additionally, the PGC
* maintains over 1.5 million acres of State Game Lands.
*
* As one of the Commonwealth's independent agencies, the PGC does not
* receive any general fund tax dollars. Instead, they rely solely on
* income derived from the sale of licenses, fines, federal reimbursement,
* natural resource agreements, right-of-way contracts, etc. License
* sales make up nearly 40% of the total revenue brought in each year.
* With the other streams of revenue in decline, the PGC needs to bolster
* their ability to generate income to avoid further, and detrimental cuts
* in operations.
*
* The PGC has not received a license increase since 1999. This proposal
* would give them the ability to continue providing the valuable services
* that hunters and citizens alike have come to appreciate. This increase
* would apply to general hunting and trapping licenses, as well as add-on
* permits. It is important to note that general hunting and trapping
* licenses for junior and senior hunters would remain unchanged.
*
* Please join me in supporting this much needed legislation for the
* sportsmen and women of Pennsylvania.
