DOA:......Statz, BB0264 - Management of fisheries within Lac du Flambeau reservation
For 2005-07 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2005 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: the budget.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Natural resources
Fish, game, and wildlife
Under current law, DNR and the Lac du Flambeau band of the Lake Superior Chippewa (band) have in effect an agreement under which the band agrees to limit its treaty-based, off-reservation rights to fish in exchange for the band being able to issue DNR fishing licenses and stamps as an agent of DNR. In addition, DNR agents may issue these licenses and stamps on the band's reservation. Current law authorizes DNR to pay the band an amount equal to the amount that the band would receive if the band issued those licenses and stamps. This payment is funded by certain moneys received by the state pursuant to Indian gaming compacts.
This bill requires DNR to make an annual payment of $50,000, in addition to the payment under current law, to the band to be used for fishery management within the band's reservation.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
