§645. Fishing and hunting license checkoff; donation for veterans with disabilities
A. Each individual who purchases a fishing or hunting license may make a donation
to help provide disabled veterans with hunting and fishing licenses. The donation shall be
made at the time of the purchase and shall be made upon the license form prescribed by the
secretary.
B. There is hereby created within the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries a special
escrow account known as the "Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Foundation Escrow
Account". The escrow account is created to receive deposits of donations made for the
benefit of disabled veterans when an individual purchases a fishing and hunting license. No
more than ten percent of the monies in the account shall be used for administrative costs. All
unexpended and unencumbered monies in this account at the end of the fiscal year shall
remain in the account. The monies in the account shall be invested by the state treasurer in
the same manner as monies in the state general fund.
C. The monies in the account shall be used solely to purchase hunting and fishing
licenses for disabled veterans, including the purchase of a commemorative durable hard card
containing such licensing information.
