(1) Until the state treasurer certifies that the assets in the nongame fish and wildlife trust fund created in the nongame fish and wildlife trust fund act exceed $6,000,000.00, a taxpayer may designate on his or her annual return that a contribution of $2.00 or more of his or her refund be credited to the state of Michigan nongame fish and wildlife trust fund created in part 439 (nongame fish and wildlife trust fund) of the natural resources and environmental protection act, Act No. 451 of the Public Acts of 1994, being sections 324.43901 to 324.43907 of the Michigan Compiled Laws.
