BILL NUMBER:S4966 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to taking fish fixed by regulation PURPOSE: To extend the Department of Environmental Conservation's (DEC) authority to regulate fish. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This bill would extend DEC's regulatory authority for fish in State waters until December 31, 2014. JUSTIFICATION: ECL § 11-1303 authorizes DEC to set open seasons, size and catch limits and manner of taking of all species of fish, except marine fish. If this authority is not extended beyond the current sunset date of December 31, 2011 the existing regulations on the seasons, manner of taking, etc. for freshwater fish would no longer be enforceable and there would be no oversight of the taking of freshwater fish in State waters. By extending DEC's authority to regulate freshwater fish, this bill would assure continuity of the protection of the State's fish resources.
