 IN SENATE

 February 25, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. PALUMBO -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Environmental Conservation

 AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to the
 transfer of a lifetime license outside of family

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 4 of section 11-0704 of the environmental
 2 conservation law, as added by chapter 507 of the laws of 2010, is
 3 amended to read as follows:
 4 4. the person to whom such license is to be transferred is related to
 5 the person to whom such license was issued by the first degree of
 6 consanguinity, or legal marriage to such person, or is the adopted child
 7 or step child or step sibling of such person; with the exception of
 8 permits or licenses for whelk, crab or horseshoe crab, food fish,
 9 including summer flounder (fluke) and striped bass which may be trans-
 10 ferred to persons outside of persons described in this subdivision. Such
 11 transfers shall meet the following requirements, including, but not
 12 limited to:
 13 (a) fifty-one percent of gross income shall be derived from commercial
 14 fishing for three consecutive years before becoming eligible. For the
 15 purposes of this section, "commercial fishing" means revenue generated
 16 from catching, harvesting or farming aquatic life, including but not
 17 limited to, fish, shellfish and crustaceans, for sale to generate
 18 profit; and
 19 (b) transfer of such permits and/or licenses may occur only one time
 20 per year; and
 21 § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred twentieth day after
 22 it shall have become a law.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
