Summary

SB203 was amended and reported as amended to ease requirements for possessing catch during multi-day trips to remote camps, including removal of a receipt-from-boat-launch requirement (amendment 984).

Senate Bill 203 (Sen. Lambert) was read and amended before the Senate Committee on Natural Resources reported it as amended on March 18.

Sen. Lambert described SB203 as a cleanup measure addressing possession limits on multi-day trips and remote camps. The bill would relax prior requirements that required separate bags per species, markings with dates, and a receipt from a public boat launch; the committee adopted amendment 984 to remove the receipt requirement, noting modern public-boat-launch payment systems often provide no printed receipt.

The sponsor waived closing remarks and the committee reported SB203 as amended without objection. The transcript records adoption of amendment 984 and the committee’s report as amended; no roll-call vote was recorded in the hearing transcript.
