Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 2537, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO AQUATIC RESOURCES,"

Your Committee finds that the Department must be statutorily able to utilize the latest technology in fishing devices to better manage the State's aquatic resources.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2537, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
