HARRISBURG — A new legislative study says merging Pennsylvania's Fish and Boat Commission with the Game Commission could save nearly $5 million annually in personnel costs.

The Legislative Budget and Finance Committee report released Wednesday said the two agencies could cut about 52 jobs, but it says such a change could incur other costs, such as the need for a new logo, uniforms, website and vehicle identification.

Pennsylvania is the only state that divides management of fish and wildlife resources into two agencies.
