Bill Summary
Relative to studying the loss of revenue in the fishing industry of the Commonwealth. Revenue.
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 Commonwealth's revenues. The study aims to assess the economic impact of the 29% drop in individual recreational fishermen from 2006 to 2011, which is estimated to have resulted in a loss of $390 million in economic activity. The study is to be completed by December 15, 2017 and its recommendations are to be forwarded to the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries to enhance the revenue-generating capacity of the recreational fishery.
