2013 House Bill 4668: Increase hunting and fishing license fees

Public Act 108 of 2013

Introduced by Rep. Jon Bumstead R-Newaygo on May 2, 2013
To revise the structure of hunting and fishing license fees in a manner that would increase license fees for most sportsmen. For example, the cost for a resident to hunt deer would go from $15 to $31, and the minimum fishing license cost would increase from $15 to $26. The House Fiscal Agency reports this would extract an additional $19.7 million annually from sportsmen. For details on specific licenses see their analysis.   Official Text and Analysis.
