SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

Senate Bill 499 allows the Department of Game and Fish to set aside up to two elk licenses to be sold to persons under the age of 21 that have been diagnosed as having a life threatening illness. These persons must be qualified as such through a nonprofit wish-granting organization.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

Senate Bill 499 does not contain an appropriation. The Department of Game and Fish reports that if these two licenses are sold to New Mexico residents, it will earn $138.00 in revenue and if sold to out-of-state residents, it will earn $1.5 in revenue. The revenue will accrue to the Game Protection Fund.
