7861.3. It is the intent of the Legislature that the department use the moneys from the sale of commercial fishing salmon stamps allocated pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 7861 and the matching share contributed by the department to raise approximately two million chinook salmon annually to yearling size to contribute to the replenishing of California’s salmon resource. In no case shall moneys from the General Fund be used to match the salmon stamp revenues expended for this program. It is the further intent of the Legislature that the salmon stamp fee authorized in subdivision (b) of Section 7861 shall generate revenues equal to one-half the amount necessary to raise this number of salmon to yearling size.(Added by Stats. 1986, Ch. 862, Sec. 4. Repealed as of January 1, 2029, pursuant to Section 7863.)
