Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to the definition of "immediate family"
Purpose
This legislation modifies the definition of immediate family for the purposes of commercial fishing license transfers.
Summary of provisions
Paragraph d of subdivision 6 of section 13-0328 of the Environmental Conservation Law is amended to remove the provision that an immediate family member needs to be domiciled in the house of the license or permit holder for the purpose of commercial fishing license transfers.
Justification
Section 13-0328 of the Environmental Conservation Law allows the Depart- ment of Environmental Conservation to transfer certain commercial fish- ing licenses to immediate family members in cases where a license holder dies prior to transferring his or her license. Currently, the defi- nition of immediate family means that licenses may be transferred to immediate family members including a spouse, sibling, parent, child, grandparent, grandchild and in addition, all persons who are related by blood, marriage or adoption to the permit holder who live in the house of the license or permit holder. This legislation would allow immediate family members covered under the provisions of section 13-0328 to be eligible to receive a transferred license or permit even if they do not live in the same household.
