Latest version.
  • 1.  To  the  end that there shall be promoted a wider understanding of
      the problems affecting conservation of natural resources in this  state,
      it  is  declared  advisable  to  authorize the agents who issue hunting,
      fishing and trapping  licenses  to  sell  annual  subscriptions  to  the
      official   magazine   of   the   department,   "The   New   York   State
      Conservationist."
        2. Any entity which is authorized by section 11-0713 of  this  chapter
      to sell hunting, trapping and fishing licenses is hereby authorized, but
      not  required, to sell annual subscriptions to the department's official
      magazine, "The New York State Conservationist." The fee  to  be  charged
      for   a  subscription  to  such  magazine  shall  be  such  fee  as  the
      commissioner may, after consultation with the division  of  the  budget,
      deem  necessary  for  the  best interest of the state. Such fee shall be
      collected from each subscriber at the time of receiving application  for
      subscription.  All collected fees, minus a 5.5 percent commission, shall
      be remitted monthly, on a schedule to be determined by  the  department.
      All  receipts of the department from subscriptions shall be deposited in
      an  account  in  the  miscellaneous  special  revenue  fund-other.   The
      comptroller  is  authorized  and directed to permit interest earnings on
      any balances to accrue to the benefit of this account.
