FISHING/OYSTERS: Provides relative to bulk tagging of oysters

Summary

The bill changes state rules so that any oysters or other mollusks taken for sale must be tagged before they leave a fisherman's boat or before they are shipped from a dock. It also directs state health and wildlife agencies to create a bulk tagging system that can cover all oysters on a vessel between harvest and dockside. The goal is to improve traceability and safety for consumers and the industry.
