CHAPTER 559 An Act to amend and reenact § 28.2-302.7 of the Code of Virginia, relating to saltwater recreational fishing boat fees. [H 734] Approved April 9, 1994

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.
