Legacy 173 Posted February 26, 2010 STATUS: S6453 LIBOUS No Same as Environmental Conservation Law TITLE....Authorizes an individual to angle for fish with up to 3 lines 01/13/10 REFERRED TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: LIBOUS Amd S11-0103, En Con L Authorizes an individual to angle for fish with up to three lines. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BILL TEXT: STATE OF NEW YORK ________________________________________________________________________ 6453 IN SENATE January 13, 2010 ___________ Introduced by Sen.

Subparagraph 2 of paragraph b of subdivision 12 of section 2 11-0103 of the environmental conservation law, as amended by chapter 215 3 of the laws of 1995, is amended to read as follows: 4 (2) one person may operate not more than [two] three lines, with or 5 without rod; 6 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately. EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD15326-01-0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPONSORS MEMO: NEW YORK STATE SENATE INTRODUCER'S MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT submitted in accordance with Senate Rule VI. Sec 1 BILL NUMBER: S6453 SPONSOR: LIBOUS TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to authorizing angling by a single individual with up to three lines PURPOSE: This legislation would authorize an individual to angle for fish with up to 3 lines. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Amends section 11-0103 of the Environmental Conservation Law to change the number of lines one person may operate from not more than two to not more than three, with or without rod. JUSTIFICATION: This new 3-rod rule is designed to favorably impact a fisherman's expe- rience by increasing his probability of catching a fish. Catching a fish enhances angler satisfaction more than any other factor and is the prime determinant in deciding whether or not to make return visits to the fisheries of New York. Return visits to the fishery are a boon to the local economies. Return trips mean more money spent locally for fuel, food, lodging, launches, parking, and rentals. The 3-rod rule will not guarantee that people catch more fish; rather it will give them the potential to locate the fish a little easier. The small crewed boats, the 'weekend warrior', the recreationalist, the vacationer, the retired couple who have saved up for a boat and now have the time and health to use it will all benefit from this. It does not mean they must use 3 rods, it will mean they can use 3 rods per person, whether they are operated from land or from a boat, if they so choose. New Jersey and Michigan both have a 3-rod rule, to which they have continued to see a favorable impact to their recreational fisher- man. In addition, the 3-rod rule will not exploit the fishery since exploita- tion is constrained by creel limits that would still be in effect. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None. EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GAMBLER 176 Posted February 26, 2010 Hopefully it is a go. That would be great. I think with NJ and MI already having it in place helps us a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stinger 3 Posted February 26, 2010 I definitely like the bill as submitted by Senator Libous. This bill shows no favoritism to any one group or location. Here is a summary: STATE OF NEW YORK ________________________________________________________________________ 6453 IN SENATE January 13, 2010 ___________ Introduced by Sen.

711skwerlz 0 Posted March 1, 2010 This would be great If we could only keep three rods in the water. It's the knots and fleas not the fish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lyteline 10 Posted March 3, 2010 We received a note from Senator Libous about the proposed change to 3 rods/person.He says that there will most likely be no further action on the bill until after the budget is passed.The Senator also said that they are working on a sponser in the Assembly and beleives that they are close.....Zeke & Cyn(Strike 3) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lyteline 10 Posted September 29, 2010 Here is an overview on the progress with the LOU 3 rod/Person proposal.           S6453 was introduced by Senator Tom Libous and passed in the Senate (57-0)in June.           Was sent to the Assembly and sponcered by Assemblywomen Addie Russell-A10382           On June 18,the bill was sent to the EnCon Committee.           It still sits there as of today.Legislative session is over for 2010 and A10382 will not come up for a vote.The 3 Rod/person bill will have to be reintroduced in the Assembly in Jan 2011.All seats are up for election in November so the EnCon Committee membership will likely change.If Assemblywomen Russell wins her election bid and returns to Albany,we wil ask her to reintroduce her bill................Zeke & Cyn(Strike 3) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
