An Act limiting weekend warrior commercial striped bass fishing licenses

This bill restricts commercial striped bass fishing licenses in Massachusetts to individuals who rely on fishing as their primary or significant income source. It prohibits selling or transferring licenses, requires annual catch reporting to the Division of Marine Fisheries within 90 days, and revokes licenses if no striped bass is caught for two consecutive years. Fishermen who miss reporting deadlines may face license denial unless they demonstrate a legitimate hardship. The law directly affects commercial striped bass fishermen seeking to operate under this licensing framework.
