Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 28.2-302.7 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 28.2-302.7. Recreational boat; reporting of catch.
A. The owner of a recreational boat used for saltwater recreational fishing
shall have the option of purchasing a saltwater recreational fishing license
which covers his passengers and himself to meet the licensing requirements
set forth in § 28.2-302.1. The cost of the license shall be thirty dollars a
year for boats up to twenty-seven feet in length and sixty dollars a year
for boats twenty-seven feet or longer. If the owner of the boat does not
purchase a license which covers all his passengers, individuals shall still
purchase a license as required by § 28.2-302.1. Purchasers of licenses
pursuant to this section will be issued an individual license, at no
additional cost, as required in § 28.2-302.1.
B. Owners of noncommercial boats shall report catch and other data as is deemed necessary by the Commission for effective fisheries management.
C. All funds collected pursuant to this section shall be paid into the state treasury to the credit of the Virginia Saltwater Recreational Fishing Development Fund, as established by § 28.2-302.3.
2. That the provisions of this act shall become effective on January 1, 1995.
