AN ACT to amend the  environmental  conservation  law,  in  relation  to
  commercial food fish licenses

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Subparagraph (iv)  of  paragraph  c  of  subdivision  1  of
section  13-0328  of  the  environmental conservation law, as amended by
chapter 383 of the laws of 2011, is amended to read as follows:
  (iv) licenses shall be issued only to persons  who  demonstrate  in  a
manner  acceptable to the department that they received an average of at
least fifteen thousand dollars of income over  three  consecutive  years
from  commercial  fishing  or  fishing,  or  who successfully complete a
commercial food fish apprenticeship pursuant  to  subdivision  seven  of
this  section.  As used in this subparagraph, "commercial fishing" means

paragraph shall be issued to applicants who qualify  based  solely  upon
income  derived  from  operation  of or employment by a party or charter
boat.  FOR THE INCOME EVALUATION OF THIS SUBDIVISION, PERSONS WHO  WOULD
OTHERWISE  BE  ELIGIBLE BUT FOR HAVING SERVED IN THE UNITED STATES ARMED
FORCES ON ACTIVE DUTY, PROVIDED THAT SUCH  INDIVIDUAL  HAS  RECEIVED  AN
HONORABLE OR GENERAL DISCHARGE, SHALL NOT BE DEEMED INELIGIBLE.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
