What’s in it

Under current law, a person who has a contract with the department of natural resources to remove underused, undesirable, or injurious organisms from the waters of the state is exempt from obtaining a license, tagging commercial fishing equipment, and submitting monthly reports to the department when acting within the scope of the contract. This bill removes those exemptions. The bill applies to contracts becoming effective on and after January 1, 2020.

Changed since by amendment S-3117; see Amendments.
