STATE OF ALASKA                                                                BILL NO. CSHB(FIN)79
2022 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
   The Department of Fish and Game is federally required to issue salt water logbooks for recording harvest and effort data
   to meet Pacific Salmon Treaty and International Halibut Act obligations as well as several regulations adopted by the
   Alaska Board of Fisheries. However, the mandate is unfunded by the federal government. This bill will provide funding for
   the issuance and reporting of salt water logbooks by restoring sunsetted license fees and increasing license fees for
   nonresidents.
   Revenue generated under the proposed fee structure: The licensing fee structure portion of this legislation would begin
   January 1, 2023 at $100 for resident sport fishing guides, and $200 for resident sport fishing operators or combined
   resident sport fishing operator and guide. Additionally, nonresident guide license fees will be $200 and $400 for
   nonresident sport fishing operators or combined nonresident sport fishing operator and guide.
   The department projects fees to generate approximately $594,400 annual revenue depending on activity.
