The Honorable Ken Rahjes, Chairperson
House Committee on Agriculture
Statehouse, Room 149D-S
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Rahjes:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2331 by Representative Corbet, et al.
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2331 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2331 would allow the Secretary of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism to establish a system
to approve and administer the transfer of regular landowner or tenant hunt-on-your-own-land big
game permits from the original recipient of the permit to a nonresident of this state solely for the
purpose of hunting white-tailed deer. The bill describes several requirements that must be met by
the transfer system.
The Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism indicates that the bill would increase
revenues. Nearly every year the Department sells the allotted number of nonresident permits. This
bill could result in the sale of more permits subject to certain conditions. Any additional
expenditures for issuing permits would be absorbed within existing resources. However, a fiscal
effect cannot be estimated. Any fiscal effect associated with HB 2331 is not reflected in The FY
2022 Governor’s Budget Report.


Sincerely,

Adam Proffitt
Director of the Budget
