Authorizes the transfer of a lifetime license

This bill allows commercial fishers to transfer their lifetime fishing licenses to non-family members once per year, expanding previous restrictions that limited transfers to immediate family. To qualify, the transferor must have earned at least 51% of their income from commercial fishing (including catching, harvesting, or farming aquatic life for sale) for three consecutive years. The transfer can only occur annually and applies to most licenses, excluding permits for whelk, crab, horseshoe crab, or specific fish like summer flounder and striped bass. It directly affects commercial fishers seeking to pass licenses to others outside their immediate family.
