S221 Prohibits the use of certain fishing gear on artificial reefs.
Unanimously passed by the Senate Environment & Energy Committee this morning. A statement was made early that "I think we need a bigger room!" A standing room only hearing room was witnessed once again to a unanimous decision to pass the bill on to the full Senate, where in two previous sessions; it received 32 votes each time. Now it's on to the Assembly for another battle.
