An Act To Amend The Laws Governing Baitfish Wholesaler'S Licenses

LD 1478 amends Maine's regulations for baitfish wholesaler licenses. It allows license holders to use up to two unlicensed workers for baitfish harvesting operations (like setting traps or transporting fish) under direct supervision. The bill removes a restriction prohibiting the sale of suckers (a type of fish) over 10 inches long between April 1 and September 30. Additionally, it requires baitfish wholesalers using drop nets through ice to mark holes with evergreen boughs or fluorescent biodegradable tape. These changes directly affect licensed baitfish wholesalers operating in Maine's inland waters.
