BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That sections 1533.341, 1533.35, 1533.36, 1533.42, 1533.62, 1533.63, 1533.631, and 1533.64 be amended and sections 1533.343 and 1533.641 of the Revised Code be enacted to read as follows:
Sec. 1533.341. The chief of the division of wildlife with
the approval of the wildlife council, in managing the Lake Erie
fishery resources, may utilize and establish by division rule a
quota management system that shall consist of determining on a
scientific basis by species and number or pounds the maximum
allowable annual taking of those fishery resources or part
thereof in order to prevent over exploitation of any species and
assure the conservation and wise use of all species, and the
determination on an equitable basis of the distribution of that
maximum allowable annual taking between and within sport and
commercial interests. The chief and the council, in determining and establishing
the apportionment of the maximum allowable annual taking of a
species between the sport and commercial interests, shall be
guided by the proportional sport and commercial taking of the
species during the immediately preceding five years and or other
pertinent scientific, economic, and social data. The chief and the council, in determining the distribution
of the apportionment within the commercial industry, also shall
consider the proportional commercial taking of the species within
the commercial industry during the immediately preceding five
years and or other pertinent scientific, economic, and social data. No person shall fail to comply with any quota set pursuant
to this section, other provisions of this section, or division
rule adopted pursuant thereto. In addition to other penalties provided in the Revised
Code, the license of any person who is convicted of two
violations of this section that occurred within a twelve-month
period is suspended upon the second such conviction by operation
of law for a period of sixty fishing season days immediately
following that conviction.
In addition to other penalties provided in the Revised
Code, the license of any person who is convicted of three or more
violations of this section that occurred within a twelve-month
period is suspended upon the third or subsequent such conviction
by operation of law for a period of eighteen fishing season
months immediately following that conviction.
During any period of suspension, no person shall use or
engage in fishing with commercial gear owned, used, or controlled
at the time of conviction by the licensee whose license has been
suspended.
Any person whose license has been suspended or revoked by
operation of law pursuant to any provision of this chapter or
Chapter 1531. of the Revised Code is not eligible to apply for or
receive a new license during the period of the suspension or
revocation.
Sec. 1533.343. On and after March 1, 2008, no commercial fishing licensee shall use or engage in fishing with commercial gear unless the licensee uses vessel and catch monitoring devices in accordance with requirements and procedures established by the chief of the division of wildlife. The chief shall establish requirements and procedures concerning vessel and catch monitoring devices by division rule. A licensee shall pay the costs of purchasing, installing, and maintaining the devices.
Sec. 1533.35. (A) Commercial fishing devices shall be
annually licensed as follows: (1) Trap and fyke nets, for the first twenty nets or any
portion thereof, eight twenty-four hundred dollars; and for each additional
group of ten such nets or any portion thereof, four twelve hundred
dollars; (2) For each seine of one hundred fifty rods or less in
length other than an inland fishing district seine, four twelve hundred
dollars; (3) For each seine over one hundred fifty rods in length
other than an inland fishing district seine, six eighteen hundred dollars; (4) For each inland fishing district seine, one three hundred
dollars; (5) For each carp apron, one three hundred dollars; (6) For one trotline with seventy hooks or less attached
thereto, twenty sixty dollars; (7) For each trotline, or trotlines, with a total of more
than seventy hooks attached thereto, one three hundred dollars; (8) For each dip net, one three hundred dollars. The license
fee for other commercial fishing gear not mentioned in this
section, as approved by the chief of the division of wildlife,
shall be set by the chief with approval of the wildlife council. Commercial fishing gear owned or used by a nonresident may
be licensed in this state only if a reciprocal agreement is in
effect as provided for in section 1533.352 of the Revised Code. All commercial license fees shall be paid upon application
or shall be paid one-fourth upon application with the balance due
and owing within ninety days of the date of application, except
that those license fees of one hundred dollars or less shall be paid in full
at the time of application. (B) Royalty fees are hereby established on
the following species of fish when taken commercially: catfish,
white bass, and yellow perch. The amount of the royalty fees shall be as follows: on
the species taken for which an allowable catch or quota has been
established by division rule, five cents per pound. On the
species taken for which an allowable catch or quota has not been
established by division rule, two cents per pound. All royalty fees established or provided for in this
section shall be paid by the license holder to the division. No person may be
issued a commercial fishing license
until all royalty fees due from that person for the preceding
fishing season have been paid in full. The chief may request the
attorney general to recover any royalty fee or amount thereof
that is not paid by the opening date of the next fishing season,
and the attorney general shall commence appropriate legal
proceedings to recover the unpaid fee or amount. All commercial fishing license moneys and all other fees
collected from commercial fishers shall be deposited
in the state treasury in accordance with section 1533.33 of the Revised
Code. No person shall fail to comply with any provision of this
section or a division rule adopted pursuant to it. In addition to other penalties provided in the Revised
Code, the license of any person who is convicted of one or more
violations of this section shall be suspended upon the
conviction by operation of law for a period of eighteen fishing
season months immediately following the conviction.
During any period of suspension, no person shall use or
engage in fishing with commercial gear owned, used, or controlled
at the time of conviction by the licensee whose license has been suspended.
Sec. 1533.36. (A) No fishing license issued pursuant to
section 1533.32 or 1533.35 of the Revised Code is transferable, and no
fisherman fisher shall carry a license that was issued in the
name of another person or that does not contain the signature of the agent
issuing it. (B) Notwithstanding any other provision in the Revised
Code and except as otherwise provided by division
rule, a licensee holding a commercial fishing license issued
pursuant to section 1533.35 of the Revised Code may transfer that
license to a person holding a license issued under that section
or to a person meeting the qualifications set forth in section
1533.342 of the Revised Code. Such a transfer is subject to all of the
following conditions:
(1) The transferred license is limited to the type of
commercial fishing gear for which the original license was
issued;
(2) The transfer does not affect any other commercial
fishing license privilege possessed by the transferor, and the
transferor, as permitted by law, may continue to renew and use
any license not transferred;
(3) Application for the transfer may be made at any time
and shall be made simultaneously by the transferor and transferee
on forms provided by the division of wildlife;
(4) When a commercial fishing license is transferred
during the open commercial fishing season, the transferee may be
issued a license only upon receipt by the division of payment in
an amount equal to the annual fees set forth in section 1533.35
of the Revised Code for the type of commercial fishing gear to be
transferred plus any unpaid fees that have not been paid by the
transferor at the time of transfer. The division shall not
refund fees previously paid by a transferor.
(5) A commercial fishing license shall be transferred only
upon payment to the division of the royalty fees imposed by
section 1533.35 of the Revised Code that have accrued to the date
of transfer. Royalty fees that accrue with regard to the
license on or after the date of transfer are solely the
responsibility of the transferee.
(6) A commercial fishing license may be transferred at any
time, but it shall not be transferred if the license is suspended
at the time transfer is sought, or if the licensee has been
charged with a violation that could result in license suspension;
(7) After determining that the transfer of a commercial
fishing license is proper, the chief of the division of wildlife
shall effect the transfer by revocation of the license of the
transferor and simultaneous issuance of the appropriate license
to the transferee.
Sec. 1533.42. Except as otherwise provided by division
rule, every licensee taking fish with commercial fishing gear,
except a trotline of seventy hooks or less, in any of the waters
mentioned in Chapter 1531. and this chapter of the Revised Code or
division rule, shall keep accurate reports for each day's catch
upon forms provided, and in the manner prescribed, by the chief
of the division of wildlife. Every commercial fishing licensee shall keep an accurate
record of each day's catch as prescribed upon a monthly report
form. The report shall include at least the number of pounds of each kind of
fish taken, the locality fished, the kind and amount of fishing gear lifted,
the number of fishing nights, the number of lifts, and any other
data the biologists employed by the division require in following
the trend of the fisheries. The licensee shall
report each month, under oath when requested to do so, those data to the
chief. The daily catch data shall be recorded accurately on the
respective date upon a report form approved by the chief no later
than twelve noon on the day following the day in which the fish
were taken. The monthly report and any other report required
pursuant to this section shall be submitted to the division
no later than the fifteenth day of the month following
the end of the calendar month in which the fish were taken. No person shall fail to comply with any report procedure
provided for in this section, other provisions of this section,
or division rule adopted pursuant thereto. In addition to other penalties provided in the Revised
Code, the license of any person who is convicted of two
violations of this section that occurred within a
twelve-month period is suspended upon the second such conviction by
operation of law for a period of sixty fishing season days
immediately following that conviction.
In addition to other penalties provided in the Revised
Code, the license of any person who is convicted of three or more
violations of this section that occurred within a
twelve-month period is suspended upon the third or subsequent such conviction
by
operation of law for a period of eighteen fishing season months
immediately following that conviction.
During any period of suspension, no person shall use or
engage in fishing with commercial gear owned, used, or controlled
at the time of conviction by the licensee whose license has been suspended.
Sec. 1533.62. The dimensions and specifications for seines
provided in this section shall apply except as otherwise provided
by division rule. Carp, buffalo fish, mullett, suckers, sheepshead, goldfish,
bowfin, and gizzard shad may be taken with a seine only in the
bays, marshes, estuaries, or inlets bordering upon, flowing into,
or in any manner connected with Lake Erie, except in any of these
waters that are in the Lake Erie fishing district where they may
be taken with other nets as provided in this chapter and Chapter 1531.
of the Revised Code. The meshes of one-third of each wing of
such a seine, next to the brails, shall measure not less than five
inches stretched mesh, and the meshes of the next one-third of
each wing shall measure not less than four and one-half inches
stretched mesh. The balance of the seine shall measure not less
than four inches stretched mesh. All measurements shall be made
on the bar as provided in section 1533.52 of the Revised Code.
Such fish may be taken only with the seine prescribed in this
section in the Ottawa river, no farther up than the Ann Arbor
bridge; in the Maumee river, no farther up than the Toledo Cherry
street bridge; in the Portage river and in Portage bay, no
farther up than one-half mile west of the junction of the Portage
and Little Portage rivers; in the Sandusky river, no farther up
than an imaginary line running from the west point of Squaw
island straight across Sandusky river to Teal Pond Point, thence

water level of Lake Erie extends in these streams. No person
shall set and leave stationary a seine, net, or other device that
will tend to interfere with the free movement of fish into or out
of the mouth of any stream flowing into or in any manner
connected with Lake Erie, wherein fishing with nets is permitted
by law, or up or down any section of such streams. In the Lake
Erie fishing district, a smaller mesh may be used in the bag of a
seine, but such a small mesh bag shall not exceed three hundred
fifty feet in length, of which two hundred feet shall be made of
twine with meshes not less than three inches stretched mesh,
fishing measure, measured on the bar as provided in section
1533.52 of the Revised Code. No seine shall be used in fishing or had in possession in
this state of a greater length than three hundred rods. This section does not permit the use of any net in any
stream flowing into Lake Erie east of the mouth of Sandusky bay,
except a minnow net as provided in section 1533.57 of the Revised
Code. No person shall draw, set, place, locate, or maintain any
net or seine except a minnow net in that portion of Sandusky bay
or Lake Erie lying within the area starting at the northeast end
of the Cedar Point jetty, thence on a line drawn straight from the
northeast end of Cedar Point jetty to Shafer's dock on
Marblehead, thence to the western extremity of Johnson's island,
thence to the loading dock of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and
back to the point of origin. No person shall draw, set, place, locate, or maintain any
net except a minnow net in that portion of Sandusky bay lying

in this section or as may be provided by the chief of the
division of wildlife immediately shall be released with as little
injury as possible while the net, seine, trotline, dip net, or
other fishing device is being lifted, pulled, or hauled. No person shall release such undersized fish or species
protected by this chapter and Chapter 1531. of the Revised Code or
division rule into a privately owned pond, lake, live car, or
other enclosure. No person shall bring ashore, or possess aboard a
boat used in commercial fishing when going to or returning from
nets or other fishing devices, a fish with its head or tail
removed or in such condition that its length, weight, or species
cannot be determined. This section does not prohibit the catching, taking, or
possession of such undersized fish when caught or taken with hook
and line, other than a commercially licensed trotline, but when
such fish are so taken, they cannot be bought or sold. No licensed commercial fishers, or person required to

such fish caught or taken from a commercial fishing device
immediately shall be released with as little injury as possible while
the fishing device is being lifted, pulled, or hauled. No person shall take, buy, sell, barter, give away,
deliver, ship, transport, or possess any package, container, or
quantity with more than ten per cent by weight of undersized fish
or any other species either round or filleted mentioned in this
section or division rule. The entire quantity of fish
containing more than ten per cent by weight of undersized fish
shall be confiscated along with its containers. No person shall
buy, sell, offer for sale, transport, give away, barter, or
possess a fish caught or taken out of season or in any manner
prohibited or a fish caught or taken unlawfully from waters in or
outside the state. All fish brought into the state from another
state or country shall be subject to the laws of this state. All fish taken or caught from Ohio waters shall be brought

date of sale or purchase. Records for trout, bullhead, herring,
whitefish, sauger, walleye, yellow perch, white bass, sturgeon,

chief. In lieu of keeping the written records concerning sales
of freshwater fish as required under this section, a
permit holder, upon applying to and receiving the approval of the chief,
may keep the sales information required under this section
on normal business records, including, but not limited to,
receipts and invoices. All records shall be maintained for at
least one year and shall be open to inspection to all division of
wildlife officers at all reasonable hours. A buyer who purchases
fish for the buyer's own consumption shall not be required
to keep records, and persons selling fish for personal consumption shall
not be required to record the names and addresses of persons
purchasing the fish. No person shall fail to comply with any provision of this
section or division rule adopted pursuant thereto. In addition to other penalties provided in the Revised
Code, the license of any person who is convicted of two
violations of this section, other than those relating to ten per
cent by weight of undersized fish, that occurred
within a twelve-month period, is suspended upon the second such conviction
by operation of law for a period of sixty fishing season days
immediately following that conviction.
In addition to other penalties provided in the Revised
Code, the license of any person who is convicted of three or more
violations of this section, other than those relating to ten per
cent by weight of undersized fish, that occurred
within a twelve-month period is suspended upon the third or subsequent

by operation of law for a period of eighteen fishing season
months immediately following

In addition to other penalties provided in the Revised
Code, the license or permit of any person who is convicted of two
violations of this section relating to walleye or sauger is
suspended upon the second such conviction by operation of law for a period
of twenty days immediately following that conviction.
In addition to other penalties provided in the Revised

In addition to other penalties provided in the Revised
Code, the license or permit of any person who is convicted of

person is permanently barred from obtaining another license or
permit of the type revoked.
In addition to other penalties provided in the Revised
Code, the license of any person who is convicted of three or more
violations of this section relating to ten per cent by weight of
undersized fish that occurred within a twelve-month
period is suspended upon the third or subsequent such conviction by operation
of law for
a period of twenty fishing season days immediately following that
conviction.
During any period of suspension or revocation, no person
shall use or engage in fishing with commercial gear owned, used,
or controlled at the time of conviction by the licensee whose
license or permit has been suspended or revoked.
As used in this section, "sale of fish" includes, but is
not limited to, fish sold in the round or part thereof and
fish sold as part of a meal or service, but does not
include canned fish. For purposes of determining any license or permit
suspension or revocation required by this section, multiple
convictions resulting from violations of this section
that occurred at the same time, on the same day, and at the
same location, are deemed to be a single conviction of one
violation.
Sec. 1533.631. Any person may apply for a permit to handle
commercial fish, or other fish that may be bought or sold under
the Revised Code or division rule, at wholesale. The chief of
the division of wildlife shall issue an annual permit granting
the applicant the privilege to handle such fish at wholesale at
one or more designated premises upon filing of an application on
a form prescribed by the chief and payment of a fee of
sixty-five dollars. No person or a person's agent shall handle at
wholesale any fresh water fish or part thereof unless a permit has been issued
for the calendar year in which the fish is handled at wholesale
for the premises at which the fish is handled. A fish is handled at wholesale for purposes of this section
when it is on a premises within the state and is being held,
stored, handled, or processed for the purpose of sale to a person
who ordinarily resells the fish. The permit required by this section shall be issued subject
to the right of entry and inspection of the designated premises
of the permittee by any law enforcement officer authorized by
section 1531.13 of the Revised Code to enforce the laws and rules of the
division of wildlife. Such an
officer may enter and inspect the designated premises and any
box, package, or receptacle, and the contents thereof, for the
purpose of determining whether any provision of this chapter or Chapter 1531.
of the Revised Code or division rule is being violated. No person holding a permit under this section shall remove
a label required by section 1533.301 of the Revised Code unless
the box, package, or receptacle bearing the label has been
opened or unless the label is replaced with another label that
meets the requirements of that section. No person shall fail to comply with any provision of this
section or division rule adopted pursuant to it. In addition to other penalties provided in the Revised Code,
the permit of any person who is convicted of two violations of
this section that occurred within a twelve-month
period is suspended upon the second such conviction by operation of law for
a period of five fishing season days immediately following
that conviction.
In addition to other penalties provided in the Revised Code,
the permit of any person who is convicted of three or more
violations of this section that occurred within a
twelve-month period is suspended upon the third or subsequent such conviction
by
operation of law for a period of twenty fishing season days
immediately following that conviction.
During any period of suspension, no person shall use or
engage in handling commercial fish at wholesale with equipment or
facilities owned, used, or controlled at the time of conviction
by the permittee whose permit has been suspended.
Sec. 1533.64. Fish lawfully confined in a net, or by a
device authorized by law, are the property of the owner or person
operating the net or other device, and no person other than the
owner or person in control of the net or other device shall take
or catch from it or possess a fish that is or has been so
confined. Each fish taken from and each fish had in possession
that was taken from any net or other device legally operated in
any of the waters of this state by any person other than the
owner or his the owner's agent operating the net or other device
constitutes a separate offense. No person shall fail to comply with this
section or a division rule adopted pursuant thereto. In addition to other penalties provided in the Revised Code,
the license of any person who is convicted of two violations of
this section that occurred within a twelve-month
period is suspended upon the second such conviction by operation of law for
a period of sixty fishing season days immediately following
that conviction.
In addition to other penalties provided in the Revised Code,
the license of any person who is convicted of three or more
violations of this section that occurred within a
twelve-month period is suspended upon the third or subsequent such conviction
by
operation of law for a period of eighteen fishing season months
immediately following that conviction.
During any period of suspension, no person shall use or
engage in fishing with commercial gear owned, used, or controlled
at the time of conviction by the licensee whose license has been suspended.
Sec. 1533.641. (A) If a person is convicted of a felony related to commercial fishing activities for a violation of state or federal law, all commercial fishing licenses issued under section 1533.35 of the Revised Code and all permits to handle commercial fish or other fish at wholesale issued under section 1533.631 of the Revised Code to that person are revoked by operation of law. That person shall not be issued any new commercial fishing licenses or permits to handle commercial fish or other fish at wholesale.
(B)(1) If a commercial fishing licensee, such a licensee's authorized representative, a person that has been issued a permit under section 1533.631 of the Revised Code to handle commercial fish or other fish at wholesale, or such a permittee's authorized representative violates section 1533.341, 1533.343, 1533.41, 1533.42, 1533.62, 1533.63, 1533.631, or 1533.64 of the Revised Code or any division rule pertaining to those sections, the licensee's license or the permittee's permit, as applicable, shall be suspended for a period of thirty fishing season days.
(2) If a violator commits a second violation within ten years after committing the first violation, the applicable licensee's license or permittee's permit shall be suspended for a period of sixty fishing season days.
(3) If a violator commits a third violation within ten years after committing the first violation, the applicable licensee's license or permittee's permit shall be revoked.
(C) During any period of suspension of a license or permit under this section, no person shall use or engage in fishing with commercial gear, or in handling commercial fish or other fish at wholesale with equipment, owned, used, or controlled at the time of conviction by the licensee or the licensee's authorized representative or by the permittee or the permittee's authorized representative, as applicable.
(D) A person whose license has been suspended or revoked by operation of law pursuant to any provision of this chapter or Chapter 1531. of the Revised Code is not eligible to apply for or receive a new license during the period of the suspension or revocation.
(E) For purposes of determining a license or permit suspension or revocation for a violation of section 1533.63 of the Revised Code, multiple convictions resulting from violations of that section that occurred at the same time, on the same day, and at the same location are deemed to be a single conviction of one violation.
Section 2. That existing sections 1533.341, 1533.35, 1533.36, 1533.42, 1533.62, 1533.63, 1533.631, and 1533.64 of the Revised Code are hereby repealed.
