AB 430

Current law restricts the transportation of a fish with the head or tail, or both,

removed or a filleted fish, if that fish is subject to a minimum size limit and taken

by hook and line from inland waters or outlying waters. Under current law, such a

dressed or filleted fish may be transported only if it continues to meet the minimum

size limit. Under this bill, such a dressed or filleted fish may also be transported if

the person transporting the fish provides upon request a physical or digital

photograph that bears a stamp of the time and date on which the photograph was

taken and that shows the fish before the head or tail was removed alongside a ruler

or other method acceptable to the Department of Natural Resources for proving its

length.
