The purpose of the proposed rule is to repeal two Special Acts of Local Application for Charlotte County. This proposed rule was requested by the Charlotte County Board of Commissioners. The first act prohibits the use of underwater lights while harvesting fish in waters of the county and the second act prohibits the use of any gig or spear in inland waters of the county. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has determined that these rules will not adversely affect the marine resources of Charlotte County or of the State of Florida. With the repeal of these Special Acts, spearing and the use of lights in Charlotte County waters would fall under the same rules that apply statewide.
