Bill > HB2695

This bill modifies the membership of the State Marine Board. It increases the board from 5 to 10 members, with 8 voting members and 2 non-voting members. The voting members will include individuals with expertise in areas like riverine ecology, recreational boating, water paddling, and recreational fishing, as well as a member representing a federally recognized Indian tribe and a licensed outfitter and guide. The non-voting members will be representatives from the Department of State Lands, the Department of Environmental Quality, or a federal agency with duties related to fish management. The bill also requires the board to allow public testimony and dialogue during meetings, and specifies the terms of the initial board members after the bill takes effect.
