BILL NUMBER: S3725

SPONSOR: LAVALLE
 
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.

This legislation would retroactively apply to all licenses or permits
eligible for reissuance under subdivision 6 of section 13-0328 of the
Environmental Conservation Law where the license holder dies after Janu-
ary 1, 2013 before surrendering his or her permit to the Department of
Environmental Conservation and the license or permit holder has desig-
nated in writing a member of his or her immediate family whom the
license or permit may be reissued.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2017-18 S.4818/A.6313;

2015-16 S.4390/A.6225

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

To be determined.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately.
