Resolve, to Study the Restriction of Entry in Lobster Management Zones

     Sec. 1. Study. Resolved: That the Lobster Advisory Council shall by February 1, 1998 submit to the Joint Standing Committee on Marine Resources a report regarding limiting entry into lobster management zones created under the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 12, section 6446.

The report may address any aspect of limited entry that is of interest to the council and may include recommended legislation. Any recommendations for a system of limiting entry must include a process under which individual zone councils recommend local limited entry provisions to the commissioner for rulemaking by the commissioner. In conducting its study, the Lobster Advisory Council shall consult with the lobster management policy councils created in each lobster management zone. The Joint Standing Committee on Marine Resources may report out legislation regarding limited entry in the lobster fishery during the Second Regular Session of the 118th Legislature.

Effective September 19, 1997, unless otherwise indicated.
