CHAPTER 746

HOUSE BILL 971

AN ACT TO INCREASE NONRESIDENT BIG GAME HUNTING LICENSE FEE.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1.  G.S. 113-95.2 is hereby amended on line 7 by striking the words and figures "four dollars and fifty cents ($4.50)" and by inserting in lieu thereof the words and figures "fourteen dollars and fifty cents ($14.50)".

Sec. 2.  G.S. 113-96.1 is hereby amended by striking the figure "$5.00" from the ninth entry in the table of licenses and fees entitled "Nonresident big game license" and substituting in lieu thereof the figure "$15.00".

Sec. 3.  The additional revenue derived from this license fee increase shall be allocated by the Wildlife Resources Commission for the purpose of adding such wildlife protectors to be assigned to areas which, as nearly as is practicable, reflect higher concentrations of big game as the funds may support to increase fish and wildlife law enforcement efforts.

Sec. 4.  This act shall become effective on July 1, 1977.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 27th day of June, 1977.
