Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources must spend 67 percent of the money received from fees for waterfowl hunting stamps for developing, managing, preserving, restoring, and maintaining wetland habitat and for producing waterfowl and ecologically related species of wildlife. The bill requires DNR to prepare a biennial report for the legislature that identifies how the money received from fees for waterfowl hunting stamps is used for habitat projects.
