Dear Scott:
Thank you for contacting my office regarding House Bill #4224: An Act instituting salt water fishing licenses. I appreciate you sharing your concerns about this proposal and where it stands in the legislative process. Please know I had the opportunity to discuss the issue yesterday with a key member of the House Leadership. I am of the understanding that the House Ways & Means Committee is definitely aware of the time sensitivity concerning potential loss of federal funds. I anticipate there is likely to be favorable action of the bill as early as next week in an effort to thwart the loss of funding of which I remain supportive. Thank you for reaching out on this important and timely measure. I appreciate your personal advocacy on the matter.
Sincerely,
Jennifer M. Callahan
State Representative
18th Worcester District
