Summary
The bill rewrites parts of Michigan’s Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to control commercial fishing in the Great Lakes. It limits the number of licenses, establishes fees, defines mesh‑size and gear placement rules, sets seasonal and size restrictions for many species, and requires marking of nets and transport containers. The changes affect commercial fishers, the Department of Natural Resources and carriers that move fish.
