The example they're following is other voluntary plans in the parks division such as a "Parks" license plate and a "Hike safe" card. The "Moose" plate has raised substantial funds for conservation. The parks also use "Iron Rangers" to collect parking fees at trail heads. It's mostly an honor system. Seems to work. Carry in Carry out, mostly works, although I guess there will always be some people who leave trash and litter. I giggle at the (local) park that has a Carry in Carry out sign next to a trash barrel. I guess for people who can't read.
The reason for such a ramp fund bill is that it enables Fish and Game to print and sell the stickers and it mandates where the funds will be allocated. I'd say they don't have that specific authority now. So, it's as much to direct F & G as it is to encourage sticker purchase.
Was it FLL who was seen reaching into that barrel and carrying some items out?
