these activities on any such lands shall be issued for a fee, not to exceed
$15 annually, as fixed by the State Forester. Permits to trap on such lands may
be issued in combination with the hunting permits, or separately, at a fee not
to exceed $15 annually for each such permit, to be fixed by the State Forester

B. The State Forester is also authorized to enter into an agreement with the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries under which the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries will include permits required under subsection A in its program for the sale of permits and licenses by the means and to the extent authorized by § 29.1-327.
2. That the Department of Forestry shall promulgate emergency regulations to implement the provisions of this act that establish a fee for the special use permit to become effective within 280 days of the enactment of this act. Until the effective date of such regulation a fee not to exceed $15 shall be charged for the issuance of a special use permit as required under § 10.1-1152 of the Code of Virginia.
