CA AB1056

Eliminates provisions that previously allowed gill or trammel net permits to be transferred to another qualified individual upon the disability or death of the original permitholder

Starting January 1, 2027, permitholders who have commercially fished in at least 15 of the preceding 20 years may transfer their permit only one time and only to a family member

After a permit is transferred under the new family member provision, it becomes permanently nontransferable

The Department of Fish and Wildlife remains prohibited from issuing any new gill net or trammel net permits but may continue renewing existing valid permits
