What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, if the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) issues permits to limit the number of persons allowed to take sturgeon and if the number of applicants for permits exceeds the number of available permits, DNR must issue the permits according to a cumulative preference system. Under this system, each season an applicant for a permit who does not receive a permit is issued one preference point. Applicants fall within a preference category, and a higher priority is given to those categories with more preference points. This bill changes the cumulative preference system DNR may establish for sturgeon spearing permits by giving a person the option either to apply for a sturgeon spearing permit or to apply for a preference point only.
Under current law, during a period beginning on November 1 each year, the holder of a sturgeon spearing license may transfer the license to a minor by applying to DNR and paying a transfer fee. This bill changes the beginning of the transfer period to October 1 of each year.
