Assembly Bill 682 proposes amendments to various statutes concerning fees for nonresident hunting, trapping, and fishing approvals in Wisconsin. The bill significantly increases the fees for several licenses, including the annual small game license, which will rise from $87.25 to $107.25, and the deer license, which will increase from $197.25 to $237.25. Additionally, the bill establishes a minimum fee of $19.85 for daily nonresident vehicle admission receipts, which are required for operating vehicles in state parks and certain recreational areas.

The bill also revises fees for other specific hunting and fishing licenses, such as the five-day small game license, which will increase from $57.25 to $67.25, and the wild turkey hunting authorization for nonresidents, which will rise from $14.75 to $24.75. Overall, the proposed changes aim to adjust the fee structure to reflect increased costs and potentially enhance revenue for the Department of Natural Resources.
