(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this code to the contrary, beginning on the first day of July, two thousand three, the director shall make available for issuance a single annual license to each qualified
resident who applies which shall entitle the resident to hunt, trap or fish for any lawful game or fish during the appropriate hunting, trapping or fishing season so designated for the particular game or fish without purchasing any additional state licenses or stamps. The license shall include a four dollar fee to be paid to the division along with a one dollar issuing fee which may be charged by any merchant or other person who is authorized to offer hunting, trapping and fishing licenses for sale to the general public.
(b) Each fiscal year, one percent of existing funds in the general revenue fund of the state shall be dedicated as an appropriation to the division to be used to promote and support the division's obligations and activities intended to maintain and preserve the state's game, fishing and nongame wildlife resources, and for law-enforcement activities for which the division is responsible.

NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to
provide a single resident license for all hunting, fishing and trapping. The bill also would dedicate each fiscal year one percent of all revenue in the general revenue fund to DNR.
