Comment:
I would like to include my opposition to this piece of proposed legislature. California is already a very expensive state to live every year it gets more expensive to do anything in this state. This proposal will mandate that some of these older vessels be removed and replaced for newer vessels putting an outdoor activity that thousands enjoy out of our reach because vessel operators if they can afford to purchase new vessels will only pass on the cost to the consumer or they will go out of business all together. The sport fishing industry is a multi-million industry that not only employs vessel owners and operators but tackle shops, marinas, parking structures, hotels, restaurants, and various local shops to name a few and contributes to the overall economy. Imposing these mandates will not only have a devastating effect on vessel owners but entire community economies. The removal of a few older boats is not worth the economic burden it will create in some of these communities that depend on the fishing industry. The State of California should be focusing on ways to encourage more job creations not the depletion of well paying jobs.
