To not reduce pet shop license fees on Sept. 30, 2007. The fees were “temporarily” increased in 2006, and under current law will go back down after that date. The bill would make those increases permanent, and also index them to inflation in the future. The bill would allow the Department of Agriculture to use these fees to pay for its operations. The bill is one of a large package of bills increasing fees on dozens of regulated business and career activities, including House Bills 4840 to 4849, and 4860.
