Title

Conservation and Natural Resources Department, commercial fishing, net and seine permits, transfers for physical hardship authorized, renewal without regard to certain income requirements for license year 2016, Sec. 9-12-113 am'd.

Description

Under existing law, the issuance of net and seine permits for commercial fishing is limited and certain permits are not transferable under any circumstances including physical hardship, and applicants for renewal are required to have previously purchased a license and to meet certain income requirements in subsequent years.

This bill would authorize certain permits to be transferred in the case of physical hardship and the requirements for proof of income requirements under Alabama income tax law in subsequent years would be deleted. This bill would further authorize a person who failed to meet the income requirements beginning October 1, 2014, to renew a net or seine permit and would delete certain income verification provisions.
