Other natural resources
Under current law, DNR administers an endangered resources program for the purposes of improving habitats for endangered or threatened species, conducting the Natural Heritage Inventory Program, conducting wildlife research, providing for wildlife damage control, and providing wildlife management services. The endangered resources program is funded in part by a voluntary income tax check-off program.
This bill creates an additional source of funding for the endangered resources program from the conservation fund appropriation that, under current law, funds many of DNR's general program operations relating to conservation, state parks, and fishing, hunting, and trapping regulations.

Recreation
Under current law, a person may not operate a vehicle in state parks or certain other state recreational lands unless the vehicle has been issued a vehicle admission receipt by DNR. The base fee for the receipt varies depending on whether the receipt is issued on an annual or a daily basis and depending on the kind of vehicle for which the receipt is issued. It also varies, for certain types of receipts, depending on whether the receipt is issued to a resident or to a nonresident. Furthermore, DNR charges a reduced fee for receipts issued to certain persons including persons who share a household with a person who has been issued a current annual vehicle admission receipt (additional receipt). Generally, DNR charges a higher fee for receipts issued to nonresidents. In addition to the base fee, DNR collects an issuing fee of 50 cents for each annual vehicle admission receipt issued and an issuing fee of 15 cents for each daily vehicle admission receipt issued.
This bill changes current law so that the base fee charged for an annual resident vehicle admission receipt is increased from $19.50 to $24.50 and the base fee charged for an annual nonresident vehicle admission receipt is increased from $29.50 to $34.50. The bill also increases the base fee charged for a daily resident vehicle admission receipt from $4.85 to $6.85. It also increases the base fee charged for an additional receipt from $9.50 to $12 for residents and from $14.50 to $17 for nonresidents.
Under current law, DNR operates state campgrounds in state parks, state forests, and other lands under its supervision and management, and classifies these campgrounds into separate categories. For the use of a campsite in a state campground, DNR charges a fee that varies depending on how the campground is categorized. Under current law, with certain exceptions, the nightly fee for the use of a campsite ranges from $6 to $10. This bill increases the nightly campsite fees by $2 so that the fees range from $8 to $12.

These include bonds or notes of the United States; bonds issued by this state or the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics Authority; and bonds issued by a town, village, city, county, or school district or certain other special districts in the state. If requested by BCPL, the State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB) is required to provide BCPL with advice and assistance in investing these moneys.
This bill authorizes BCPL to delegate to the SWIB the authority to invest part or all of the moneys belonging to the trust funds. Under the bill, if BCPL delegates the authority, the SWIB may invest the moneys belonging to the trust funds in any fixed income investment or fund that invests in fixed income instruments.
