2012 MD Hunting License Fee Increase Fails March 28, 2012- HB 1419 did come out of assigned house committee with a favorable report with amendments but failed with an unsuccessful House Floor of 62-69 the DNR Wildlife and Heritage Div. proposed amended bill has failed to pass. This means that the bill is effectively dead and fees and increases will not be suffered by Lic. Hunters this coming season. It probably means that this issue will raise its head again next legislative season though and will have to be revisited and examined all over again very soon. The fate of the exponential 500% increase in Maryland boating registration fees known as HB 1307 seems unlikely to pass this year but there is no definitive word on it and therefore the out come of that bill in up in the air still as it is still lingering in the assigned house committee as of the writing of this article. |
