summary
The bill removes the Department of Environmental Protection's authority under the Natural Resources Protection Act to regulate lobster trap storage on docks. The bill does not address the storage of related trap lines, buoys and bait bags.
This amendment moves the provisions in the bill to the section of law related to exemptions to the permitting requirements of the Natural Resources Protection Act. The amendment provides that a Natural Resources Protection Act permit is not required for the storage of lobster traps and related trap lines, buoys and bait bags on a dock. It also clarifies the definition of "dock."
