MADISON - Two Republican legislators are
circulating a bill that would allow outdoor lovers to donate to wildlife
habitat management through a voluntary check-off on licenses and
registrations.
The bill would allow anyone who purchases a
hunting, trapping or fishing license, a snowmobile, all-terrain vehicle or
boat registration or a state park admission sticker to contribute a minimum
of $2 to the state Department of Natural Resources.
The DNR would then pay the money to the
Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin. The foundation would use the
money to create an endowment program to support habitat management on state
land.
State Sen. Dale Schultz of Richland Center
and Rep. Warren Petryk are looking for co-sponsors for the bill. Republican
Gov. Scott Walker says he supports the measure.
