An act to amend Sections 7149 and 7149.05 of the Fish and Game
Code, relating to sport fishing.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 583, as amended, Berryhill. Sport fishing: licenses.
Existing law requires every person 16 years of age or older who
takes any fish, reptile, or amphibian for any purpose other than
profit to first obtain a license for that purpose, with specified
exceptions, and to have that license on his or her person or in his
or her immediate possession when engaged in carrying out any activity
authorized by the license. Existing law requires a resident or a
nonresident, 16 years of age or older, upon payment of a specified
fee, to be issued a sport fishing license for the period of a
calendar year, or, if issued after the beginning of the year, for the
remainder thereof. Existing law requires the Fish and Game
Commission to adjust the amount of the sport fishing license fees, as
prescribed, to fully recover, but not exceed, all reasonable
administrative and implementation costs of the Department of Fish and
Wildlife and the commission relating to those licenses.
This bill would require a resident or a nonresident, 16 years of
age or older, upon payment of a specified base fee
plus an administrative and implementation fee specific to recovering
all costs to the department of adding this license , to be
issued a sport fishing license for the period of 12 consecutive
months beginning on the date specified on the license, as prescribed.
This bill would prohibit the department from i
ssuing through the Automated License Data System a sport fishing
license for that period of 12 consecutive months until the department
certifies that the Automated License Data System has been
successfully modified to issue and track these licenses
and would require the department to notify the Chairs of the Senate
Committee on Natural Resources and Water and the Assembly Committee
on Water, Parks, and Wildlife of this certification. This bill would
permit the issuance of these sport fishing licenses for a period of
12 consecutive months for 5 years after the date the department
issues the first of these licenses through the Automated License Data
System.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
