CHAIRMAN KELLY called the Senate Rules Committee meeting to order at 12:26 p.m. He noted all committee members were present. CHAIRMAN KELLY brought SB 7 (HUNTING SPORT FISH TRAPPING FEES/LICENSES) before the committee as the first order of business. He directed attention to a proposed amendment and asked the bill's sponsor, Senator Donley, to explain the change. SENATOR DONLEY explained the legislation sets up a slightly different scheme for nonresident license fees, and as that scheme was being developed with the help of the Department of Fish & Game, they failed to make the king salmon tag parallel to the new nonresident license scheme. The legislation deletes the current three-day nonresident license and it goes to a one-day, seven-day, 14-day system. The amendment to Section 7 on page 3 will set out that same system for a king salmon tag. It was further explained by Senator Donley that if an individual purchases a one-day tag or even a seven-day tag, this legislation doesn't have any impact on them. That is consistent with the purpose of the bill, which is to address people who come and stay for the entire season. He added that the legislation also removes an annual tag. SENATOR TOGERSON inquired if changes were made to the resident tag. SENATOR DONLEY answered the only impact on the resident tag fees in the legislation is in the amendment to the combination resident licensure, but the fees are not being changed for the resident tags. It is cheaper for the state when residents buy combination licenses, because they don't have to pay the vendors for every license they issue, so the change encourages people to buy the combination licenses. SENATOR LEMAN moved adoption of the following amendment to be incorporated into a Rules CS. SENATOR TAYLOR objected. Amendment No. 1 Page 3, lines 13-14: Delete: "(B) [FOR A THREE-DAY TAG ...................... 15 (C)] for a 14-day [OR ANNUAL] tag.......... 30 [35]." Insert: "(B) for a seven-day [THREE DAY] tag........ 30 [15] (C) for a 14 day [OR ANNUAL] tag........... 50 [35]. The roll was taken with the following result: Senators Torgerson, Leman and Kelly voted "Yea" and Senators Taylor and Duncan voted "Nay." CHAIRMAN KELLY stated the motion carried. SENATOR LEMAN moved CSSB 7(RLS) be passed out of committee with individual recommendations and that it be approved for calendaring. Hearing no objection, it was so ordered.
