This bill died with 2009-2010 Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law prohibits the taking of lobsters for commercial purposes except under a valid lobster permit issued by the Department of Fish and Game. The base permit fee for a lobster permit is $265. This bill, commencing April 1, 2011, and until March 31, 2016, would impose, in addition to the permit fee, a supplemental fee of $300, to be known as the Lobster Management Enhancement Supplement. The bill would require the department to deposit supplement revenues in the Lobster Management Enhancement Account, which the bill would create in the Fish and Game Preservation Fund. The bill would require that money in the account be expended by the department, upon appropriation by the Legislature, exclusively to fund specified projects and programs to improve lobster sustainability and management. The bill would create a 5-member Lobster Management Enhancement Advisory Committee that would be required to meet only once during any calendar year to recommend to the department projects and programs and budgets for the expenditure of account moneys, including a plan to prioritize expenditures. Those lobster management enhancement provisions would be repealed on January 1, 2017.
