HB 1127: Sale of commercial fish

Concerning the direct retail sale of salmon, crab, and sturgeon.

Summary

  • Expands the Direct Retail Endorsement to allow for the retail sale of sturgeon.
  • Allows the Department of Fish and Wildlife (Department) to issue a Direct Retail Endorsement at any time, not just at time of license renewal.
  • Removes the requirement that retailed products have to be landed in the round.
  • Authorizes the Fish and Wildlife Commission to require Direct Retail Endorsement holders to notify the Department up to 18 hours before conducting a sale, unless the cumulative retail value of the product sold from a vessel in a 24-hour period is less than $150.
  • Allows the holder of a Direct Retail Endorsement to sell his or her catch to a restaurant or other similar food service business.
  • Directs the Enhanced Food Fish Excise Tax to be calculated from the comparable sales value of similar fish at the port of landing.
