Bill Summary

Relative to shellfish aquaculture licenses. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to make changes to shellfish aquaculture licenses. Specifically, it requires that shellfish aquaculture licenses "shall" (rather than "may") be issued, makes the licenses transferable by the licensee through sale, gift, or bequest, and allows the licenses to be transferred to any person or entity (rather than just a person). Additionally, the bill removes the provision limiting the license term to 15 years.
