This bill increases fees DFI charges to a foreign corporation when the corporation files its annual report or applies for a certificate of withdrawal (which withdraws authority for the corporation to transact business in this state). Under current law, a foreign corporation doing business in this state must, when filing its annual report, pay a fee of $2 for every $1,000 of capital employed in this state for which the corporation has not already paid a fee (excess capital). Also under current law, a foreign corporation doing business in this state must, when applying for a certificate of withdrawal, pay a $2 fee for every $1,000 of excess capital. This bill increases both fees to $3 for every $1,000 of excess capital.
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:
SECTION 1. 180.0122 (1) (w) of the statutes is amended to read:

2005 - 2006 LEGISLATURE
DOA:......Statz, BB0314 - Increase in hunting and fishing fees and approval changes
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
This bill increases the fees for the following fish and game licenses by $6 or more: resident deer hunting licenses, resident archer hunting licenses, resident sports licenses, and husband and wife resident fishing licenses. A resident sports licence is a combination license that includes the privileges of resident deer, small game, and fishing licenses. A husband and wife resident fishing license confers the privileges of an annual resident fishing license on a married couple who are residents. The bill increases or decreases the fees for other fish and hunting licenses and stamps and for duplicates of certain licenses by $3 or less.
The bill also increases the wildlife damage surcharge, which is added to the base fee for most hunting licenses, from $1 to $2. The bill increases the wildlife damage surcharge that is issued for conservation patron licenses from $2 to $4. The wildlife damage surcharge is generally used for the funding of the wildlife damage program that compensates farmers for damages caused by deer, geese, bear, and turkey. A conservation patron license is a combination license that includes the privileges under a sports license, plus additional privileges authorized by fishing and hunting licenses and stamps. For residents, it also includes the privileges of a trapping license.
Under current law, no person may hunt waterfowl or pheasant without a license authorizing the hunting of small game (underlying license) that is issued by DNR and a waterfowl or pheasant hunting stamp, also issued by DNR, which is attached to or imprinted on the license. DNR charges a fee for both the hunting license and the stamp. This bill creates a grouse and woodcock hunting stamp which, with certain exceptions, must be attached to, or imprinted on, the underlying license in order for a person to hunt ruffed grouse or woodcock. The bill establishes a fee for this stamp. The moneys received by DNR from these fees is appropriated for the development and management of the ruffed grouse and woodcock populations within the state.
The bill requires that lake sturgeon that are taken by hook and line, instead of by spearing, be tagged with a sturgeon hook and line tag issued by DNR. The bill establishes a fee for this tag. The moneys received by DNR from these fees is appropriated for managing the lake sturgeon fishery in inland lakes.
Holders of conservation patron licenses are not required to purchase grouse and woodcock hunting stamps or sturgeon hook and line tags.
Under current law, DNR issues wild turkey hunting licenses and tags according to a cumulative preference system. Under the system, priority is given to license applicants based on residency, land ownership, and the receipt of licenses for earlier seasons. One tag is issued for each license. Before using the preference system, DNR allocates a certain number of wild turkey hunting tags for each wild turkey hunting zone that it establishes and for certain time periods it establishes during the wild turkey hunting seasons. Applicants apply for a specific zone or specific time period and the preference system is used separately in each zone and for each time period. In a zone where or for a time period when the number of applicants does not exceed the number of tags available and there are surplus tags, the bill authorizes DNR to issue these surplus tags. The bill establishes a fee for these tags.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
