RELATING TO FISHERIES.
SB 22 exempts state fisheries operations and management from requiring environmental reviews. This directly affects commercial fishing businesses and state fisheries management agencies. The bill removes the need for environmental impact assessments before implementing fisheries decisions. This changes existing state procedures by eliminating a review step for fisheries-related actions.
