The proposed 10% increase in annual license fees would apply to these businesses. These fees have not been raised for six years.

Natural Resources
(CR 03-035)
An order affecting ch. NR 45, relating to use regulations on department properties. Effective 1-1-04 and 3-1-04.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
A potential impact on small business will come with the creation of the department commercial use permit. This permit would allow the department to place reasonable restrictions on commercial activities on certain department properties and to collect fees when deemed appropriate. In many cases, commercial activities have a more consumptive impact on department lands than do individual users due to their more intensive use and regular scheduling.
Examples of businesses affected include commercial photographers, ski schools, climbing schools, horse trip guides and scuba diving schools. These groups will be subject to a $30 annual commercial use permit.
Summary of Comments by Legislative Review Committees

An order affecting ch. NR 64, relating to reimbursement of eligible expenses on all-terrain vehicle trails. Effective 1-1-04.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
