Read first time 01/14/93. Referred to Committee on Natural Resources.
AN ACT Relating to commercial salmon fishing licenses; and amending RCW 75.30.120.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
Sec. 1. RCW 75.30.120 and 1983 1st ex.s. c 46 s 146 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) A commercial salmon fishing license issued
under RCW 75.28.110 or salmon delivery permit issued under RCW 75.28.113 may be
issued only to a vessel((:
(a))) which
held a state commercial salmon fishing license or salmon delivery permit during
the previous year or had transferred to the vessel such a license, and has not
subsequently transferred the license or permit to another vessel((; and
(b) From which food fish were caught and landed
in this state or in another state during the previous year as documented by a
valid fish receiving document)).
Where the failure to obtain the license or permit during the previous year was the result of a license or permit suspension, the vessel may qualify for a license or permit by establishing that the vessel held such a license or permit during the last year in which the license or permit was not suspended.
(2) ((The director may waive the landing
requirement of subsection (1)(b) of this section if:
(a) The vessel to which an otherwise valid
license is transferred has not had the opportunity to have caught and landed
salmon; and
(b) The intent of the commercial salmon vessel
limitation program established under this section is not violated.
(3)))
Commercial salmon fishing licenses and salmon delivery permits are
transferable.
