SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Saltwater licenses and permits. Authorizes the Virginia Marine Resources Commission to adjust fees for saltwater fishing licenses and permits. This bill caps the fee increases at $5 or a percentage equal to the increase in the CPI calculated from the time the fee was last set or adjusted, whichever is greater. Any such adjustment in a permit or license fee cannot occur more often than once every three years. The amount generated from increases in the commercial fishing licenses and permits is to be paid into the Marine Fishing Improvement Fund and the increased amounts generated from increases in the recreational fishing licenses are to paid into the Virginia Saltwater Recreational Fishing Development Fund. The bill also authorizes the Commission to establish permit fees for the delayed or limited entry fisheries, as well as for shellfish relaying and scientific collections.
