AI Summary

This bill directs the Massachusetts Department of Revenue, in conjunction with the House and Senate Joint Committee on Revenue, to conduct a study on the decline of the recreational fishery, particularly the Striped Bass fishery, and the concurrent impact on the revenues of the Commonwealth. The study aims to estimate the economic loss resulting from the 29% drop in recreational fishing participation from 2006 to 2011, which is estimated to have resulted in a $390 million loss in economic activity. The study is to be completed by December 15, 2019 and forwarded to the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries with recommendations to enhance the revenue-generating capacity of the recreational fishery.
