SF 198 - State Shooting Complex Funding Amendment

Overview

Bill Number: SF 198
Title: State Shooting Complex-Funding Amendment
Status: H Did not Consider for Introduction
Introduced: February 04, 2025

Purpose and Intent

The purpose of SF 198 is to provide additional funding for the maintenance and improvement of the state's shooting complex facilities. The bill's sponsors argue that the current funding levels are insufficient to properly maintain the complex and address growing demand for its services.

Key Provisions

  • Allocates an additional $5 million per year from the state's general fund to the Department of Natural Resources for the state shooting complex
  • Requires the Department to use the funds for the following purposes:
    • Upgrading and modernizing existing shooting ranges and facilities
    • Expanding the size and capacity of the complex to meet increased usage
    • Improving safety features and equipment at the complex
    • Hiring additional staff to manage and maintain the facilities

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • The state's Department of Natural Resources would be responsible for managing the additional funding and overseeing improvements to the shooting complex
  • Recreational shooters, hunters, and other users of the state shooting complex would benefit from the facility upgrades and expanded capacity
  • Local businesses near the shooting complex may see increased economic activity from more visitors

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

SF 198 was introduced in the state legislature on February 4, 2025, but did not receive consideration for introduction. As the bill did not advance, it effectively died at the end of the legislative session. Any future efforts to increase funding for the state shooting complex would require reintroduction of similar legislation.
