Brandt Supports Georgia WRD’s License Fee Restructure

On April 25, 2017, the State of Georgia’s House Bill 208 passed which included the revision of hunting/fishing license and boat registration definitions, fees, and requirements. Brandt worked collaboratively with Georgia Wildlife Resources Division to analyze the bill and implement the changes prior to the July 1, 2017 deadline. The product catalog restructure was completed in the expedited two-month schedule, including new pricing and adjusted business rules that required project planning, requirements gathering, development, and testing. The support and collaboration between organizations during this time exemplifies our strong partnership as we continue to grow the Go Outdoors Georgia licensing system.

With the dog days of summer nearly upon us, June and July are the perfect time to hit the Appalachian trail in Virginia for a short day trip, or a longer backpacking trip.

A worthwhile investment for every member of your party, whether they are fishing or not, all Virginians benefit from the conservation and economic activity generated by anglers. Fishing alone is responsible for more than $1.3 billion in economic impact in the state. You can conveniently pick up your license online at www.dgif.virginia.gov/licenses/ or in person at any licensed dealer.
