SB153

This bill requires that all spending from the Department of Game, Fish and Parks fund must be approved through the state's regular budget process (the general appropriation bill) rather than being spent automatically from collected revenues. The change applies across multiple funding sources used by the department, including money from habitat conservation emblems, animal damage control, and other programs. This gives the legislature more direct control over how the department spends its money instead of allowing it to spend revenues without specific annual approval.
