FISH/FISHING: Provides for recording of commercial receipts for fish sold. (8/1/25)

SB 23 requires seafood dealers to provide commercial fishermen with a three-part receipt form for every fish purchase. The form must include specific details like the fisherman’s name/license, species, quantity, price, and transaction date, and must be given to the fisherman within 24 hours. One copy stays with the dealer, one goes to the fisherman, and one is sent to Louisiana’s Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. This bill directly affects commercial seafood dealers and fishermen in Louisiana by standardizing transaction records for regulatory tracking.
