SEAFOOD: Provides for reporting, data collection, and information sharing related to domestic and imported seafood (OR INCREASE SD RV See Note)

House Bill 550 reorganizes the state's oversight of seafood safety and reporting. It transfers authority for imported seafood sampling, testing, and enforcement, along with the Seafood Safety Task Force, from the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism to the Department of Agriculture and Forestry. The bill requires commercial seafood processors and distributors to submit reports to the Department of Agriculture and Forestry. Additionally, it mandates dealers to provide detailed accounting of imported seafood to the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and imposes an increasing annual imported seafood safety fee on relevant permit holders.
