Description
Saltwater recreational fishing; conformance with national registry. Conforms Virginia's licensing of saltwater anglers with the rule issued by the National Marine Fisheries Service, thus exempting anglers in Virginia from federal registration. Several exemptions from the requirement to purchase a license will no longer be available, including exemptions for persons fishing from their own property, a federally owned park, or licensed rental boats. Those holding a lifetime license will continue to be exempt from further license requirements. Persons over 65 and persons fishing from a rental boat will pay a reduced license fee of $5.
