SUMMARY

This amendment authorizes the Commissioner of Marine Resources to determine by rule what crew members may fish under a commercial pelagic and anadromous fishing license that provides for crew members. It also amends the fees for a commercial pelagic and anadromous fishing license to reflect fee changes in other commercial finfish fishing licenses made last year. The amendment reduces the surcharge on a commercial pelagic and anadromous fishing license for resident operators without crew members from $150 to $50 and increases the amount for residents with crew members from $100 to $200 and for nonresidents with crew members from $100 to $400. The amendment also adds an appropriations and allocations section.
