Summary
The bill requires anyone acting as a freshwater charter‑boat fishing guide to have a valid state guide license, commercial marine insurance and a state recreational fishing license. If the guide operates on U.S. waters within Louisiana, a U.S. Coast Guard captain’s license is also required. The measure aims to ensure qualified, insured operators for charter fishing trips.
