Page 333, after line 14, insert:
"C. Notwithstanding any action of the Virginia Marine Resources Commission pursuant to Chapter 4 VAC 20-1090-10 et. seq., or other provisions of law or policy, fees levied by the Commission for saltwater recreational fishing licenses shall be imposed at the level as they were in effect on October 1, 2014."


Explanation
(This amendment rejects an increase in the fees charged for saltwater recreational fishing licenses that was originally approved by the Virginia Marine Resources Commission on October 28, 2014. A companion amendment to Item 471.10 restores $550,000 in general funds that were proposed for reversion as a result of the increase in fees.)
