Senate Bill 573 amends the Parks and Wildlife Code to include among the authorized uses of the net receipts from freshwater fishing stamp sales the repair, maintenance, renovation, or construction of facilities supporting the management of and research related to freshwater fisheries; the restoration, enhancement, or management of freshwater fish habitats; the development of shoreline-based projects allowing freshwater angler access; and, subject to a prescribed cap, the administration and operation of freshwater fish hatcheries. The bill repeals a restriction on the use of the net receipts from collectable freshwater fishing stamp sales and instead subjects such receipts to the same use restrictions as the net receipts from freshwater fishing stamp sales.
