The Honorable Ken Rahjes, Chairperson
House Committee on Agriculture
Statehouse, Room 149D-S
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Rahjes:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2032 by Representative Carmichael
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2032 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
Under current law, a person could use a spotlight or other artificial light to spot or locate
wildlife while in possession of a weapon if authorized by law or rules and regulations of the
Secretary of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism. HB 2032 would make it unlawful for a person to use a
spotlight or other artificial light to spot or locate wildlife while in possession of a weapon.
The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism states that the enactment of HB
2032 would have no fiscal effect. The Kansas Association of Counties states it does not know if
the use of artificial light is a widespread issue and therefore the fiscal effect is unknown.


Sincerely,

Adam Proffitt
Director of the Budget
