LANSING, MI – For the first time in at least a decade, fees associated with hunting, fishing and boating will most likely jump in Michigan.
Democrats are looking to shore up the state Department of Natural Resources’ budget in the weeks before the close of the hectic lame duck session when they lose their governing trifecta. They’re proposing increasing the cost of boat registration fees and hunting and fishing licenses — in some cases more than 50%. More here…
In a nutshell, here are the proposed increases, which have already passed committee:
(3) The fee for a base license is as follows:
(a) Subject to subdivision (b), for a resident, $10.00 to$15.00.
(b) For a resident minor child or nonresident minor child, $5.00 to $8.00.
(c) for a nonresident, $150.00 to $163.00.
Can’t wait for the Democrats ouster in the next session of the legislature…GW
