Summary
A new rule, 68B-2.010, (FAC)(Tournament Permits), would outline the conditions for issuance of a new mackerel tournament donation permit. This permit would be issued to tournament directors to allow tournament-caught king and Spanish mackerel to be donated to a licensed wholesale dealer in exchange for a donation to charity. Additionally, the proposed rule would state that the tournament organizer cannot also be the wholesale dealer accepting the donated tournament fish. This would help ensure seafood safety and reporting regulations are followed.
Definitions relevant to the proposed rule 68B-2.010 would be added to 68B-2.001, FAC (General Definitions).
