All you need to do is look at the behavior of the California Fish and Game Commission to see what this kind of appointed commission can do to the sport and the heritage! Fish and wildlife decisions should be made by experts in the field with a focus on good conservation and management... NOT on the political whims of the current Governor or party.

Bill would make boat titles easier

COLUMBIA | A House subcommittee Tuesday agreed to a bill aimed at modernizing the state’s archaic boat title laws and making them easier for individuals and dealers.

The same panel delayed action on a bill barring exports of wild-caught turtles from the state.

The boating bill has been under study for seven years, said Department of Natural Resources attorney Buford Mabry.

“This is long overdue,’’ he said.

Almost all boats in the state are required to have a title, just as a vehicle is. Canoes and kayaks are exempt, as are paddle boats with no motors.

Getting a title is not a problem when buying a new boat, but it often is when individuals sell one, or the dealer sells a used one before the title paperwork is complete, or if the old title can’t be found.

In the case of used boats sold by dealers or individuals, “We give temporary use permits so people can use a boat until they get the title,’’ something that has not been available, Mabry said.

Without the title, the new owner can’t use the boat.

Taking away any link between the DNR and the constituents is just not a very good idea, and having the possibility for this person to change every 4 years is another bad idea. Fight the good fight Jeff and I will let my family members in the area know about it. From what I am reading here I think that keeping the current system would definitely be the way to go.
