The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources has announced a new policy to adjust certain fees every two years using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as a national economic benchmark. This approach aims to maintain the sustainability of wildlife conservation programs by aligning costs with inflation trends. The adjustments will apply to various permits and services, ensuring funding keeps pace with rising operational expenses. Officials emphasized that the change supports long-term resource management without placing undue burden on users. The CPI-based model provides a transparent and predictable method for updating fees, reflecting broader economic conditions. This initiative underscores the agency’s commitment to responsible stewardship of natural resources while adapting to economic fluctuations.
