Reverts any monies exceeding $250,000, rather than $80,000, in the Arizona Game and Fish Publications Revolving Fund (Revolving Fund) to the Arizona Game and Fish Fund.

Background

The Game and Fish Commission (Commission) may expend monies for the purpose of producing publications relating to wildlife and activities of the Arizona Game and Fish Department for sale to the public.

All monies received from the sale of such publications must be deposited in the Revolving Fund (A.R.S. § 17-231).
