§ 80.10 — Who Is Eligible To Receive The Benefits Of The Acts?

States acting through their fish and wildlife agencies are eligible for benefits of the Acts only if they pass and maintain legislation as described in the Acts and maintain control of revenue from hunting and fishing licenses. This revenue is to be used for administration of the State fish and wildlife agency, which includes the functions required to manage the agency and the fish- and wildlife-related resources for which the agency has authority under State law. A State becomes ineligible to receive the benefits of the Acts if they fail materially to comply with any law, regulation, or term of a grant as it relates to acceptance and use of funds under the Acts.
