Relates to commercial food fish licenses

This bill establishes a fixed cap on the number of commercial food fish licenses and crab permits available for the years 2018 through 2029. It sets specific numerical limits for each year, starting with a calculated increase in 2018 and maintaining that total number for the subsequent decade. To manage the allocation of these limited licenses, the law prioritizes current license holders and restricts new licenses to individuals who meet strict income thresholds or complete an apprenticeship program. Additionally, the bill includes provisions to ensure veterans and certain other groups are not unfairly excluded from the income-based eligibility criteria.
