Franklin County commissioners have agreed to
approach the state legislature once again about waiving the saltwater products
license fee for senior citizens.
A saltwater products license is
required for all commercial fishermen – the price can range from 50 dollars for
an individual to 100 dollars per vessel.
There are additional charges for
fishermen who target specific species like blue crabs or pompano.
County Commissioners say they
would like to see those costs waived for senior citizens just like they already
are for hunting and recreational fishing licenses.
The commercial license fee was
set by the legislature and only the legislature can waive it.
County Commissioners voted
Tuesday to make the request to Franklin County’s legislative delegation asking
that the issue be brought up again during this year’s legislative session.
