What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
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.
