made at the time of the purchase and shall be made upon the license form prescribed by the
secretary.
B. There is hereby created within the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries a special
escrow account known as the "Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Foundation Escrow

monies in the account shall be used solely to purchase hunting and fishing licenses for
disabled veterans. No more than ten percent of the monies in the account shall be used for
administrative costs. All unexpended and unencumbered monies in this account at the end
of the fiscal year shall remain in the account. The monies in the account shall be invested by
the state treasurer in the same manner as monies in the state general fund.
