Legislation seeks sustainable funding for IDNR priorities
IDNR aims to pass a bill adding about 50 million in sustainable funding, supplementing General Assembly appropriations. Critics note decade-long revenue decline from 109 million to 49 million, while lawmakers debate added fees and a passport system for state parks. If enacted, some mandates may ease by Jan. 1 with full funding effects not until FY 2013.
