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
the taking and sale of marine resources including fish, shellfish, crus-
tacea  or  other marine biota and "fishing" means commercial fishing and
carrying fishing passengers for hire. Individuals who  wish  to  qualify
based  on  income  from  "fishing"  must hold a valid marine and coastal
district party and charter boat license. No more than ten percent of the
licenses issued each year based on income eligibility pursuant  to  this
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, THE DEPARTMENT MAY
CONSIDER  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.
