AMENDMENT LCO No.: 7954 File Copy No.: 201 House Calendar No.: 172 Primary Analyst: MR 5/4/21 Contributing Analyst(s): (NF) OFA Fiscal Note State Impact: None Municipal Impact: None Explanation The amendment increases the number of participants allowed under a group fishing license, issued by the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP), from 50 to 100 people. Currently, DEEP issues a group fishing license to non-profit organizations to hold up to 50 group fishing events per year for certain qualified individuals. This is not anticipated to result in a fiscal impact, since the same number of group licenses are anticipated to be issued.
