 Introduced  by Sen. MARTINEZ -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT to amend the  environmental  conservation  law,  in  relation  to
   shellfish regulations
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section 1. Section 13-0319 of the environmental conservation  law,  as
 amended  by  chapter  303  of  the  laws  of 1997, is amended to read as
 follows:
 § 13-0319. Shellfish regulations.
   The department may adopt regulations with respect to  the  harvesting,
 transplanting, relaying, receiving, possessing, transporting, importing,
 exporting,  processing,  buying,  selling of or otherwise trafficking in
 shellfish; the labeling or tagging thereof; the keeping  of  records  of
 shellfish received, transported and distributed; the construction, oper-
 ation and maintenance of all shellfish handling, processing and distrib-
 uting  establishments, including facilities and equipment and the clean-
 ing, cleansing and water storage of shellfish.  The provisions  of  this
 section  relating  to  transplanting  and  relaying  include but are not
 limited to the removal of shellfish from uncertified growing  areas  and
 transplanting  to  certified  areas  for  subsequent  harvest for market
 purposes and transplanting of  scallops  pursuant  to  [paragraph  a  of
 subdivision  2  of]  section 13-0327.   Such regulations may provide for
 payment of the reasonable costs of  the  department  of  supervision  of
 removal  of  shellfish from uncertified areas, except where such removal
 is being undertaken by a municipality  or  political  subdivision.  Such
 regulations shall be drawn in such a manner as to provide adequate sani-
 tary control over all shellfish offered for sale and distribution in the
 state.  Such  regulations shall not be less restrictive than the minimum
 requirements of any federal agency regulating the  inter-state  shipment
 of shellfish.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
