BILL NUMBER:S3527A
Title of bill
An act to direct the department of environmental conservation to grant Robert Zickmund, Sr. a license to fish conch
Purpose
To grant Robert Zickmund, who held a conch license for the years of 2000-2002 and has been denied the right to be issued a license in 2014.
Summary of provisions
Directs the Department of Environmental Conservation to issue Mr. Zickmund a conch license.
Existing law
The law provided that only those who had conch licenses in 2003 would be entitled to continue as preferred licensees.
Justification
Mr. Zickmund had a conch license for three years and has been a commercial fisherman since the 1970's. He failed to purchase a conch license in 2003 concentrating on other fish species. He had no idea that failure to purchase a license for one year would bar him from the license for the past nine years. This is an injustice to an individual who has spent his life in the fishing industry.
