MSBA Action Alert--Protect Fishing License Bill Today

To All MA Recreational Angers:

MA House Bil #4224 is the fishing license legislation written by a steering committee of recreational fishing leaders and is currently at a critical point in the legislative process. The bill is now in the MA House Ways & Means Committee and is in danger of having monies diverted to the Environmental/State Police. This diversion will cause MA to lose millions of dollars in federal matching funds that pay for current fisheries programs and it will cause many organizations, including the MA Striped Bass Assn to withdraw support for any
State managed license.

Please take a moment to call your local State Representative and let him or her know that you support H4224 "as written" and that you would like to see the bill come out of Ways & Means ASAP.

The following link is an easy way for anyone to find the contact info to their local State Representative. Please act today. Together we can get this bil passed.

Thank You
MA Striped Bass Assn
Serving the MA Recreational Fishing Community since 1950
