Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to House Bill 545 made minor adjustments to the structure of advisory committees that assist with fisheries management. Specifically, it removed a section that previously called for the inclusion of representatives from environmental protection and conservation interests when appointing members to these committees. This change may impact the diversity of perspectives considered in decision-making about coastal fisheries, as it places greater emphasis on commercial and recreational fishing interests over environmental advocates.
