SB 255-FISH PROCESSOR FEES, LICENSES, RECORDS
3:33:47 PM
CO-CHAIR WIELECHOWSKI announced SB 255 to be up for
consideration. He said this bill would enable fisheries that
have elected to pursue and permit buyback program to do so. The
purpose is to stabilize the fleet and ensure the long term
economic stability of the fishery. This bill creates the legal
mechanisms to ensure the proper accounting of all the
transactions involved in this process.
3:34:12 PM
SENATOR OLSON, sponsor of SB 255, said this bill strengthens the
viability of the fisheries even though it is fairly simple.
CO-CHAIR WIELECHOWSKI noted a letter of intent that would
accompany the bill with six signatures. He explained that it is
the result of an agreement between the seiners and the
processors that the permit buyback program will not remove more
permits than necessary for the health and viability of the
fishery and sets the number of permits at 260.
SENATOR FRENCH moved to report SB 255 from committee with
individual recommendations, attached fiscal note(s), and letter
of intent. There were no objections and it was so ordered.
