|
| | Emergency preamble. Whereas, acts of the Legislature do not become | effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as | emergencies; and |
|
| | Whereas, the 90-day period will end after the period during | which shellfish dealer licenses are valid; and |
|
| | Whereas, unless enacted as an emergency measure, the new | category of license authorized in this legislation will be | unavailable to holders of commercial shellfish licenses until | 2007; and |
|
