Noticed a bill in the State Legislature that could be worth watching. AB 1299 by Jared Huffman. The subject is "Marine fisheries: forage species." Check out the link:

This bill has languished in the Senate Appropriations Committee (dead zone) since july. However, it has the potential to be amended and/or revived. As written, it looks to be one of those bills that could be a two edged sword for commercial/recreational fisheries folks....
