Summary
The use of electric lights to attract fish while fishing was banned to control fishing harvest before the establishment of management measures such as fishing size and creel limits and closed seasons. The current law prevents the use of electric lights needed to aid in targeting invasive finfish species such as snakeheads at night. This bill continues the illegality of using electric lights for commercial fishing.
Title
