(REALLOCATED FROM TITLE 12, SECTION 10263)

The Predator Control and Deer Habitat Fund, referred to in this section as "the fund," is established within the department as a nonlapsing fund to be used by the commissioner to fund or assist in funding predator control and to enhance deer habitat. The commissioner shall establish on the department's online licensing system checkoff options that allow a person to donate money for predator control or deer habitat enhancement. The checkoff options must be prominently displayed and contain web links to information about how the checkoff revenues have been and will be used. Revenues from the checkoffs must be deposited in the fund and used for purposes indicated by the checkoffs. [RR 2011, c. 1, §14 (RAL).]

The commissioner may accept and deposit into the fund monetary gifts, donations or other contributions from public or private sources for the purposes specified in this section. The fund must be held separate and apart from all other money, funds and accounts. The department shall report annually to the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over inland fisheries and wildlife matters on the fund and its utilization. [RR 2011, c. 1, §14 (RAL).]
