Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission intends to use boat funds to pay for hatcheries

The Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission is pushing for legislation that would allow it to transfer money between its Boat Fund and its Fish Fund – a move the agency says is essential to avoid another license fee increase in the next few years.
The commission is working with state Sen. Greg Rothman, R-Perry, chair of the Senate Game and Fisheries Committee, to draft a bill that would amend Pennsylvania’s Title 30, which requires that fish and boat fund revenues be kept separate.
