Page 1 of 1 150.150 Game and fish fund -- Funds for hunger relief -- Accounting and report -- Contribution to Becoming an Outdoors-Woman Program. (1) Except as provided in this chapter, all moneys derived from the sale of licenses or from any other source connected with the administration of this chapter shall be
promptly paid over to the State Treasurer, who shall deposit such moneys in a
special fund, known as the game and fish fund, except that the moneys shall be
entered under separate restricted fund accounts, not commingled, and maintained
according to generally accepted accounting principles. Moneys derived from the
sale of licenses issued under this chapter shall be under separate restricted fund
account from any other proceeds derived from this chapter or from proceeds
obtained under any other chapter. The game and fish fund shall be used to carry out
the purposes of this chapter and any law or regulation for the protection of wildlife
and for no other purpose. (2) All funds received under KRS 150.110 and 150.520 shall be used by the department for the purpose of enforcing those sections and for the protection and propagation of
mussel beds. Any surplus remaining in the fund at the close of each calendar year
shall be turned into the general fund of the department. (3) In addition to the funds derived pursuant to KRS 186.050(15), the department shall, beginning August 1, 2006, and each fiscal year thereafter, set aside not less than
twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) from the game and fish fund for the purpose
of promoting hunger relief through specific wildlife management and conservation
efforts. The department shall provide for a separate accounting of these funds and
shall, by October 1, 2007, and annually thereafter, report on the expenditures made
pursuant to this subsection to the Governor and the Legislative Research
Commission. (4) The department shall prescribe a method to allow any applicant for a license required under KRS 150.175 to make, at the time of application, a voluntary
contribution in the amount of two dollars ($2) for the Becoming an Outdoors-
Woman Program or other hunter and angler recruitment and retention program. The
voluntary contribution shall be deposited into a separate, restricted account within
the game and fish fund. The Becoming an Outdoors-Woman Program shall
encourage women in developing skills for outdoor recreational activities including
but not limited to hunting and angling. The voluntary contribution shall be
automatically added to the cost of the license at the time of sale. Effective: July 15, 2010
