Establishes a sport fishing angler access account and surcharge to fund a biennial report on sport fishing's economic impacts.
The bill creates a sport fishing angler access account within the fish and game fund, funded by a $1 surcharge on sport fishing licenses. This account will support the production and dissemination of a biennial report on the economic impacts of sport fishing in Alaska. The surcharge is exempt for those eligible for a $5 resident hunting, trapping, and sport fishing license or a free license. The bill also allows the commissioner to authorize Yukon residents to obtain nonresident sport fishing licenses and anadromous king salmon tags at resident fees, if determined appropriate.
