Sec. 26-27c. Reproduction and marketing of stamp as artwork. Use of funds
generated. The Commissioner of Environmental Protection may provide for the Connecticut Migratory Bird Stamp to be reproduced and marketed in the form of prints and
other related artwork. Funds generated from such marketing and from the sale of stamps
pursuant to section 26-27b shall be deposited in a separate account maintained by the
Treasurer and known as the migratory bird conservation account. The migratory bird
conservation account shall be an account of the Conservation Fund. All funds credited
to the migratory bird conservation account shall only be used for: (1) The development,
management, preservation, conservation, acquisition, purchase and maintenance of waterfowl habitat and wetlands and purchase or acquisition of recreational rights or interests relating to migratory birds; and (2) the design, production, promotion and procurement and sale of the prints and related artwork.

History: P.A. 92-133 granted broader authority to the commissioner for the reproduction and marketing of the Connecticut Migratory Bird Conservation Stamp and required funds generated from the sale and marketing of the stamps be deposited
into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund; P.A. 94-130 changed name of fund from "Migratory Bird Conservation Fund"
to "migratory bird conservation account" and made said account an account of the Conservation Fund and eliminated the
requirement that investment earnings be credited to the assets of said fund.
