Amends existing law to revise fee provisions.
INVASIVE SPECIES FUND -- Amends existing law to revise fee provisions.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This Act more proportionately shifts the financial burden of the invasive species registration program away from the vessels that present the least amount of risk to Idaho waterways, and instead toward the vessels that present the greatest risk for the introduction of invasive species into Idaho waterways. The Act reduces Idaho resident motorized vessel fees for invasive species by 50%. The Act also reduces regulation by eliminating the current requirement for more than 110,000 annual invasive species registrations for small nonmotorized watercraft such as paddleboards and canoes. The Act will save the state more than $165,000 per year in vendor fees that are associated with the sale of invasive species stickers for small nonmotorized watercraft.
