§ 12 Fund Name Consolidation

This law says that whenever a law mentions “Fish Commission Fund” or “Game Preservation Fund,” it really means the “Fish and Game Preservation Fund.”

Key Takeaways

  • •It’s just a naming rule – two old names are treated as the same fund.
  • •The rule works for any law that mentions either of those old names.
  • •It doesn’t change how the money is used, only what the name means.

Example

A state law says a hunting license fee will be put into the Game Preservation Fund.

Because of this rule, that fee actually goes into the Fish and Game Preservation Fund, even though the law used a different name.
