requirements and qualifications for the issuance of these subtype licenses.
(b) No person shall take marine life for commercial purposes whether the marine life is caught or taken within or outside of the State, without first obtaining a commercial marine license or subtype license, if applicable, as provided in this section.

providing vessel charter services in the State for the taking of marine life in

with a subpoena or warrant relating to a paternity or child support
proceeding. The department shall issue,

from the child support enforcement agency, the office of child support hearings,
or the family court.

renew or reinstate, or shall deny or suspend any license or application, if the
