SJUD - 2/27/95                                                                
                                                                               
 SB  21 FINES FOR COMMERCIAL FISHING VIOLATIONS                              
                                                                               
 KELLY GOODE, legislative aide to Senator Halford, reviewed SB 21              
 for the committee. CSSB 21 (RES) increases punishment for                     
 violations of commercial fishing laws by adding a provision to                
 current law which increases the maximum fine allowable for third              
 and subsequent offenses.  The maximum fine would be $9,000.  A                
 stronger version of CSSB 21 (RES) passed the Senate last year.                
                                                                               
 There being no other witnesses wishing to testify, SENATOR MILLER             
 moved CSSB 21 (RES) out of committee with individual                          
 recommendations.  There being no objection, the motion passed.
