Assembly Bill No. 1339
CHAPTER 47

An act to add Section 7149.7 to the Fish and Game Code, relating to fishing, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately.

[ Filed with Secretary of State  June 06, 1991. Approved by Governor  June 05, 1991. ]

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 1339, Cannella. Sportfishing.
The law in effect prior to January 1, 1991, permitted the Director of Fish and Game to designate not more than 2 days in each year as free sportfishing days during which residents and nonresidents could, without having a sportfishing license and without the payment of any fee, exercise the privileges of a holder of a sportfishing license.
This bill would reenact that provision.
This bill would also declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SEC. 2.

 This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate effect. The facts constituting the necessity are:
In order to allow free fishing days to be established in time for the primary fishing seasons of 1991, it is necessary that this act take effect immediately.
