Virginia seafood regulation bills introduced in General Assembly
A Tidewater driven package of seafood laws seeks a state controlling commission, tax schemes, open and restricted area regulations, and a state inspection system. Delegates Wright and Norris lead the measures, with a joint committee hearing planned. Gov Pollard remains to offer his views and recommendations.
