Commercial fishing: steelhead trout: Dungeness crab.

The base fee for the steelhead trout fishing report-restoration card remains set at five dollars for the 2004 license year (a proposed change to shift it to the 2027 license year was reverted).

The base late or nonreturn fee remains set at twenty dollars for the 2028 license year (a proposed change to shift it to the 2027 license year was reverted).

The requirement that the department's report to the Legislature include 'collected fishing effort data with error bars' was removed from Section 7381(b)(1), reducing the data the department must compile and present about the steelhead trout card program.

The base fee for the steelhead trout fishing report-restoration card was reverted from $15 (for the 2027 license year) back to $5 (for the 2004 license year), effectively removing the proposed three-fold fee increase.

The base fee for the late or nonreturn fee was shifted from taking effect in the 2027 license year to the 2028 license year, giving anglers an additional year before the penalty applies.

New detailed reporting sub-requirements were added for the department's July 1, 2030 legislative report: (A) report on card sales and return rates, (B) evaluate and discuss constraints and uncertainty of fishing effort data, and (C) describe how report card data is used in conjunction with other credible science to inform management decisions.

The base fee for the steelhead trout fishing report-restoration card is reduced from $15 to $5 for the 2027 license year.

The proposed Dungeness Crab Fleet Subaccount within the Dungeness Crab Account is removed. The old version would have established a subaccount managed and overseen by the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission with specific inoperative and repeal dates. The new version instead simply requires the department to provide funding from the existing Dungeness Crab Account to the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission, consistent with a spending plan developed by the Dungeness crab task force.

Multiple Dungeness crab provisions (Sections 8276.1, 8276.2, 8276.3, and 8276.4) have their sunset dates shortened from January 1, 2040 to January 1, 2037, with inoperative dates moved from April 1, 2039 to January 1, 2037 and repeal dates moved from January 1, 2040 to January 1, 2038.

The term 'non-return' is changed to 'nonreturn' throughout the steelhead trout card provisions, and text regarding reporting released steelhead trout is reorganized within Section 7380 from after subdivision (b) into subdivision (a).

The base fee for the steelhead trout fishing report-restoration card late or nonreturn penalty was set at $20 for the 2027 license year. The Senate version had left this amount blank (____ dollars).

The Dungeness Crab Fleet Subaccount funding mechanism was restructured. The Senate version required the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission to manage and oversee moneys and use them to implement a spending plan. The Assembly version instead requires the department to provide funding from the Dungeness Crab Account to the Commission, consistent with a spending plan developed by the task force, until January 1, 2037.

The steelhead trout fishing report-restoration card program sunset was shortened from January 1, 2037 to January 1, 2032, reducing the program's remaining life by five years.

The legislative reporting requirement for the steelhead trout program was reduced from two reports (July 1, 2031 and July 1, 2036) to a single report due by July 1, 2030.

Multiple Dungeness crab provisions had their sunset dates pulled forward: Section 8276.1(d) repeal moved from January 1, 2040 to January 1, 2037; Sections 8276.2(d), 8276.3(c), and 8276.4(j) inoperative dates moved from April 1, 2039 to January 1, 2037, and repeal dates moved from January 1, 2040 to January 1, 2038.

The term 'late or non-return fee' was changed to 'late or nonreturn fee' throughout (removing the hyphen), a stylistic change with no substantive effect.

The base fee for the steelhead trout fishing report-restoration card is increased from $5 (2004 license year) to $15 (2027 license year), tripling the revenue generated per card.

A new Dungeness Crab Fleet Subaccount is established within the Dungeness Crab Account. Moneys in the subaccount are managed and overseen by the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission and, upon legislative appropriation, must be used to implement a spending plan developed by the Dungeness crab task force. These provisions become inoperative on April 1, 2039, and are repealed as of January 1, 2040.

A new late or non-return fee is imposed on anyone who fails to return their steelhead trout fishing report-restoration card by the department-established date. The department cannot sell a subsequent year's card until the fee is paid in full, and neither the department nor the commission may waive the fee. The specific dollar amount is left blank for future determination.

The steelhead trout report-restoration card program (Section 7382) is extended from January 1, 2027 to January 1, 2037, with a competing amendment showing 2032. Legislative reporting deadlines are updated from July 1, 2025 and 2036 to July 1, 2031 and 2036 (with a competing date of 2030).

Multiple Dungeness crab provisions (Sections 8276.1, 8276.2, 8276.3, and 8276.4) are extended from expiring in 2030 to expiring in 2040, with inoperative dates moved from April 1, 2029 to April 1, 2039.

The Dungeness crab task force's recommendation deadline for reviewing management measures is extended from January 15 of every third year through 2028 to through 2038.

The legislative report requirement in Section 7381(b) now also requires the department to include 'collected fishing effort data with error bars' in its reports to the Legislature.
