Illinois lawmakers weigh hunting fishing fee hikes again
Illinois House backed bills to raise hunting and fishing license fees after last year’s failed Senate vote. Sponsor Rep. Ronald Greisheimer notes the revised plans would lift fishing to 5, hunting to 7, and deer permits to 10 with an 11 dollar combo license, while exempting children and seniors 65 and older. The move aims to fund DoC needs like a new hatchery and habitat programs, though critics say the revenue falls short. The governor’s budget address is set for March 1.
