What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Department of Natural Resources may promulgate

for fishing in the Great Lakes. These rules include a requirement that, in order to
qualify for a license, an applicant must have harvested in the previous license year
at least a certain amount of fish. This bill prohibits minimum harvesting
requirements.
