HB 332 Original 2015 Regular Session Billiot
Abstract: Authorizes seafood dealer's license holders to be eligible to purchase commercial crab
trap gear licenses.
Present law restricts the purchase of commercial crab gear licenses to those who either held such
licenses during any two license years between 2011 and 2014 or to people who have completed the
program for the development of professionalism in the crab industry.
Proposed law adds another eligible group of people – people who held a wholesale/retail seafood
dealer's license and can document crab landings during any two years between 2011 and 2014.
