<ns0:DigestText>
<html:p>Existing law authorizes the Department of Fish and Wildlife, for the purpose of exhibiting fish and game educational material at fairs or sportsmen’s shows and making other public displays, and to make conservation educational materials on fish and game available for any public use, including fairs, sportsmen’s shows, schools, and civic organizations, to charge admissions or make a charge for the use of any departmental material or exhibits to be used in a fair, sportsmen’s show, or by a civic organization.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would revise and recast those provisions to instead authorize the department, for the purpose of making educational exhibits and digital and physical educational materials related to fish and wildlife available for any public use, including fairs, outdoor sporting and recreation shows, schools, state and local governments, civic
engagement organizations, and community engagement events, to charge a fee, not to exceed the reasonable costs to the department, for the distribution or use of any of those educational materials or exhibits or for admission to any of those exhibits.</html:p>
