AGFC, state legislators eye increase in hunting, fishing licenses to support infrastructure repairs

LITTLE ROCK — The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission is working with state legislators to address concerns about failing and outdated infrastructure that provides habitat for the state’s fish and wildlife and public recreation opportunities.

That bill got a do-pass in a Senate committee this week but then was returned to the committee for more consideration.
