The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to cooperate with the
States, through their respective State fish and game departments,
in wildlife-restoration projects as hereinafter in this chapter set
forth; but no money apportioned under this chapter to any State
shall be expended therein until its legislature, or other State
agency authorized by the State constitution to make laws governing
the conservation of wildlife, shall have assented to the provision
of this chapter and shall have passed laws for the conservation of
wildlife which shall include a prohibition against the diversion of
license fees paid by hunters for any other purpose than the
administration of said State fish and game department, except that,
until the final adjournment of the first regular session of the
legislature held after September 2, 1937, the assent of the
Governor of the State shall be sufficient. The Secretary of the
Interior and the State fish and game department of each State
accepting the benefits of this chapter, shall agree upon the
wildlife-restoration projects to be aided in such State under the
terms of this chapter and all projects shall conform to the
standards fixed by the Secretary of the Interior.
