365-Day Fishing License Advancing in State Legislature
Western Outdoor News reports that, "Over the past year, the California Sportfishing League (CSL) has been working with Assemblymember Jim Wood (D-Santa Rosa) to advance legislation to increase fishing participation in California. Assembly Bill 1387 would enact a 365-day sport fishing license valid for a full 12 months from the date of purchase, include an auto-renewal feature that would ensure greater license renewal rates, and allow licenses to be displayed on mobile devices.
The legislation is supported by over 60 state and national organizations representing anglers, hunters, boaters, marina operators, retailers, the tourism and hospitality industry, and small business owners.
While legislation passed the State Assembly unanimously and rests in the State Senate, Assemblyman Wood announced that AB 1387 will become a two-year bill. The decision to slow the advancing bill was made based on the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (CDFW) commitment to work with the bill’s author and outdoor community to expand the scope of the legislation by including additional reforms that would not only provide anglers greater value, but hunters as well."
