§ 2621 Wildlife Board Funding Limits

This law lets the Wildlife Conservation Board receive up to $100,000 each year from certain state funds to pay for the board's work, and it can add extra money from other sources if needed, but it cannot create new staff positions.

Key Takeaways

•Up to $100,000 can be appropriated each year for the board's administrative costs.
•The board may supplement this amount with other funds it already has.
•No new personnel positions are authorized by this chapter.

Example

A state wildlife agency wants to fund the board's work to protect endangered animals during the 1985‑86 fiscal year.

The board can be given an appropriation of up to $100,000 from the designated funds. If the board needs more money for its projects, it can supplement the amount with money from other sources it already controls, but it cannot hire new employees just for this chapter.

How to Calculate

Maximum appropriation per year = $100,000

Identify the amount the board requests for the fiscal year.
Compare the requested amount to $100,000.
If the request is less than or equal to $100,000, that amount can be approved.
If the request exceeds $100,000, only $100,000 may be approved from this section.
The board may add any additional funds it has available from other sources.

The board requests $85,000 for a habitat restoration project.

Result: Approved amount = $85,000 (since 85,000 ≤ 100,000)

An annual amount, not to exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), may be appropriated from the funds available pursuant to subdivisions (a) and (d) of Section 2620 in the 1984–85 through 1989–90 fiscal years, in a particular amount to be determined in each annual appropriation, to the Wildlife Conservation Board for expenditure for costs incurred by the board in administering this chapter, as provided in this section. The board shall augment, as needed, any amount appropriated pursuant to this section with an appropriation from any other funds available to it. This chapter is not intended, nor shall it be construed, to authorize the Wildlife Conservation Board or the department to establish any additional personnel positions. (Added by Stats. 1984, Ch. 6, Sec. 1. Approved in Proposition 19 at the June 5, 1984, election. Operative July 1, 1984, by Stats. 1984, Ch. 6, Sec. 3.)
