1. To the end that there shall be promoted a wider understanding of
the problems affecting conservation of natural resources in this state,
it is declared advisable to authorize the agents who issue hunting,
fishing and trapping licenses to sell annual subscriptions to the
official magazine of the department, "The New York State
Conservationist."

2. Any entity which is authorized by section 11-0713 of this chapter
to sell hunting, trapping and fishing licenses is hereby authorized, but
not required, to sell annual subscriptions to the department's official
magazine, "The New York State Conservationist." The fee to be charged
for a subscription to such magazine shall be such fee as the
commissioner may, after consultation with the division of the budget,
deem necessary for the best interest of the state. Such fee shall be
collected from each subscriber at the time of receiving application for
subscription. All collected fees, minus a 5.5 percent commission, shall
be remitted monthly, on a schedule to be determined by the department.
All receipts of the department from subscriptions shall be deposited in
an account in the miscellaneous special revenue fund-other. The
comptroller is authorized and directed to permit interest earnings on
any balances to accrue to the benefit of this account.
