A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT to modify the means of providing access to rules of the Division of Marine fisheries.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

SECTION 1.  G.S. 113‑221 reads as rewritten:

"§ 113‑221.  Rules.

…

(b)        Upon purchasing a license, each licensee shall be given provided access to a copy of the rules concerning the activities authorized by the license. The copy may be in written or electronic form, including by file download over the Internet. A written copy of the rules shall be provided to a licensee upon request.

(c)        The Fisheries Director shall notify licensees of a new rule or change to a rule by sending each licensee either a newsletter containing the text of the rule or change or an updated codification of the rules of the Marine Fisheries Commission that contains the new rule or change. The Director may elect to use electronic means rather than mail to notify licensees if electronic means would be more timely and cost‑effective. A written copy of any notification produced in accordance with this section shall be provided to a licensee upon request.

…."

SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
