2019 Annual Report 47
with the State Treasurer and appropriated by the
Legislature. General Fund money is appropriated to
the Commission for those operating activities that
are not self-supporting (primarily operations of the
state park system and nongame and endangered
species activities); administrative activities that are
general in nature, applicable to the entire agency
and difficult to prorate among the various other
funding sources; and activities that extend beyond
the statutory use of the various cash funds.
Game Cash Fund derives its revenues from user
fees for various resident and nonresident permits
related to game, including big game (antelope, big
horn sheep, deer, elk, turkey) permits, small game
hunting permits, fishing permits, and lifetime
permits. This fund is the agency's second largest
source of funding in 2019 and is the primary funding
source for fish and wildlife activities. This fund is
restricted to funding only those activities which
are related to the support of fish and game, the
provision of boating facilities, administration and
enforcement of the State Boat Act, production of
publications, administration, construction, operation
and maintenance of fish hatcheries and for the
distribution of fish. Transfers from this fund to the
General Fund are not authorized under existing law.
