2021 California Code|Fish and Game Code - FGC|DIVISION 2 - DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE|CHAPTER 1 - Organization and General Functions|ARTICLE 1 - Generally|Section 710.

710.  The Legislature finds and declares that the department has in the past not been adequately funded to meet its mandates. The principal causes have been the fixed nature of the department’s revenues in contrast with the rising costs resulting from inflation, the increased burden on the department to carry out its public trust responsibilities, and additional responsibilities placed on the department by the Legislature. This lack of funding has prevented proper planning and manpower allocation. The lack of funding has required the department to restrict warden enforcement and to defer essential management of lands acquired for wildlife conservation. The lack of funding for fish and wildlife conservation activities other than sport and commercial fishing and hunting activities has resulted in inadequate wildlife and habitat conservation and wildlife protection programs.(Amended by Stats. 2006, Ch. 667, Sec. 9. Effective January 1, 2007.)
CA Fish & Game Code § 710.5 (2021)
2021 California Code|Fish and Game Code - FGC|DIVISION 2 - DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE|CHAPTER 1 - Organization and General Functions|ARTICLE 1 - Generally|Section 710.5.

710.5.  (a) The Legislature finds and declares that the department continues to be inadequately funded to meet its mandates. While revenues have been declining, the department’s responsibilities have increased in order to protect public trust resources in the face of increasing population and resource management demands. The department’s revenues have been limited due to a failure to maximize user fees and inadequate non-fee-related funding. The limited department revenues have resulted in the inability of the department to effectively provide all of the programs and activities required under this code and to manage the wildlife resources held in trust by the department for the people of the state.(b) The Legislature further finds and declares that the department has been largely supported by fees paid by those who utilize the resources held in trust by the department. It is the intent of the Legislature that, to the extent feasible, the department should continue to be funded by user fees. All fees collected by the department, including, but not limited to, recreational hunting and fishing licenses, landing fees, commercial licenses, permits and entitlements, and other fees for use of the resources regulated or managed by the department, are user fees. To the extent that these fees are appropriated through the Budget Act for the purposes for which they are collected to provide services to the people of the State of California, these user fees are not subject to Article XIII B of the California Constitution.(c) The Legislature further finds and declares that user fees are not sufficient to fund all of the department’s mandates. To fulfill its mandates, the department must secure a significant increase in reliable funding, in addition to user fees.(Amended by Stats. 2017, Ch. 26, Sec. 2. (SB 92) Effective June 27, 2017.)
CA Fish & Game Code § 710.7 (2021)
2021 California Code|Fish and Game Code - FGC|DIVISION 2 - DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE|CHAPTER 1 - Organization and General Functions|ARTICLE 1 - Generally|Section 710.7.

710.7.  (a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(1) The department continues to face serious funding instability due to revenue declines from traditional user fees and taxes and the addition of new and expanded program responsibilities.(2) Historically, the recreational and commercial fishing industry has funded much of the department’s marine fisheries activities.(3) As the state’s population grows and development changes historic land uses, fish and wildlife continue to be depleted, necessitating a significant portion of the department’s activities to be directed toward protecting fish and wildlife for the benefit of the people of the state.(b) It is the intent of the Legislature to extend the current user-based funding system by allocating a portion of the marine resource protection costs to those who use and benefit from recreational and commercial use of the marine resources.(c) It is the Legislature’s intent that, notwithstanding Section 711, the department shall cooperate with the Legislature, recreational users, conservation organizations, the commercial fishing industry, and other interested parties to identify and propose new alternative sources of revenue to fund the department’s necessary marine conservation, restoration, and resources management, and protection responsibilities.(d) It is further the intent of the Legislature to identify new funding sources and to secure those sources to adequately fund the department’s activities directed at protecting and managing wildlife for the people of the state.(Amended by Stats. 2006, Ch. 667, Sec. 11. Effective January 1, 2007.)
CA Fish & Game Code § 711.1 (2021)
2021 California Code|Fish and Game Code - FGC|DIVISION 2 - DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE|CHAPTER 1 - Organization and General Functions|ARTICLE 1 - Generally|Section 711.1.

711.1.  (a) The expenditure of all federal grant moneys made available to the state pursuant to the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act (16 U.S.C. Sec. 669 et seq.) shall be consistent with that act.(b) In applying for federal grant moneys available pursuant to the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act, the department shall give priority to projects that fulfill one or more of the following purposes:(1) Management of the department’s wildlife areas or other lands open to the public for hunting and other public priority uses listed in paragraph (1) of subdivision (d) of Section 1745.(2) Conservation of, or scientific research concerning, wildlife or wildlife habitat.(3) Support of the department’s hunting-related programs, including hunter education, public access, and target shooting.(c) The department shall post a brief description of projects or programs funded by moneys received pursuant to the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act on its Internet Web site. The description shall include information about the budget of each project or program.(d) The department shall consult with any of the advisory committees established pursuant to Sections 3684, 3702.1, and 3953 regarding all projects funded by the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act that are relevant to the committee or committees.(Added by Stats. 2014, Ch. 259, Sec. 1. (SB 1434) Effective January 1, 2015.)
