FISH/FISHING: Removes the requirement that certain tags have the social security number of the tag holder. (8/1/26)

SB 257 removes the requirement for commercial fishing tags to include the social security number of the tag holder. It specifically amends Louisiana laws governing pompano strike nets, which currently mandate that tags display the owner's name, address, social security number, and permit number. The bill would eliminate the social security number requirement while keeping the other information (name, address, permit number) on tags. This change directly affects commercial fishermen using pompano strike nets in Louisiana waters. The bill does not alter other tag requirements or fishing regulations.
