MEMORANDUM
Posted: February 28, 2013 03:25 PM
From: Senator Charles McIlhinney
To: All Senate members
Subject: Memo #12 - Hunting License Increase
In the near future, I intend to reintroduce legislation that would <span style="font-weight: bold">increase license fees for 4 of the 34 licenses</span> issued by the Pennsylvania Game Commission and <span style="font-weight: bold">decrease fees for 2 junior nonresident licenses</span>. The legislation will provide for the following increases:
Adult Resident Hunting Increase
Resident Antlerless Deer Increase
$19 to $25 July 1, 2014 Ÿ
$5 to $12 July 1, 2014
$25 to $30 July 1, 2017 Ÿ
$12 to $15 July 1, 2020
$30 to $35 July 1, 2020
Adult Nonresident Hunting Increase
$100 to $150
Junior Nonresident Hunting Decrease
Ÿ
Hunting $40 to $20
Jr. NR Hunting and Furtaking $50 to $25
Resident Migratory Game Bird Hunting Increase
$2 to $5
<span style="font-weight: bold">In addition, this legislation will create a new adult resident combination license for hunting, furtaking, archery and muzzleloader.</span> <span style="font-style: italic">The fee for this license will be $67 beginning July 1, 2014, increasing to $72 on July 1, 2017, and to $77 on July 1, 2020.</span> This combination license will save hunters $5 on each license individually. A purchaser would then save $3 in vendor fees and another $2.10 in ALS point of sales fees for a total savings of $10.10.
<span style="font-weight: bold">The Game Commission has not received a fee increase since 1998</span> and all income is derived from the sale of licenses, fines, federal reimbursement, sale of timber and natural resources and rights of ways. The Commission uses this funding to manage over 1.4 million acres of land, and 467 species of wildlife.
