PA 10-3 reduces many of the fees for sportsmen’s licenses, permits, and tags that had been doubled effective October 1, 2009 under PA 09-3, June Special Session. PA 10-99 authorizes a credit to be applied against the fee for any 2011 sportsmen’s license, permit, or tag when purchase of these items for 2010 had been made while the doubled prices were in effect.
Anyone who purchased a fishing or hunting license, permit, or tag while higher prices were in effect (October 1, 2009 through April 14, 2010) is eligible for a credit against the cost of purchasing these items for the 2011 season. The credit will be the difference between the higher amount paid for a license, permit, or tag and the amount set by the new fee structure established under PA 10-3. For full details on the credit program– including the process for obtaining a credit– see the DEP's website.
