HRS §188-45
Baitfish licenses for commercial fishers
This section lets the state's department give special licenses to commercial marine license holders to catch nehu, iao, or other fish to use only as bait. The department can set rules and conditions to protect the fish supply. If a license holder breaks a rule, the department can take away the license immediately, and it can also cancel licenses to protect the fish.
The statute, as written — Licenses for nehu, iao, and other baitfish
The department may issue to commercial marine licensees, as defined in chapter 187A, licenses to take nehu, iao, or any other species for use as bait only. The department may adopt rules pursuant to chapter 91 for the purposes of this section. The licenses may be issued by the department upon terms and conditions the department may deem necessary to conserve the supply of the fish within state waters. The license may be summarily revoked for a violation of any term or condition of the license, and any or all licenses may be revoked summarily whenever, in the judgment of the department, the action is necessary for the conservation of the fish.
