NOAA
FLEOA Legislative Committee supported NOAA member agents by proposing criminal provisions for inclusion into the Magnuson Act. The Magnuson Act is the principal law that federally regulates our nation's living marine resources.
The Magnuson Act passed in the last session of the 109th Congress and included some of the language proposed by our NOAA member Agents. NOAA member Agents feel that a further amendment is needed to clear up the remaining criminal language. The FLEOA Legislative Committee pledges to continue to work closely with NOAA. Special recognition should be given to Chris Schoppmeyer for spearheading the effort and for providing the institutional knowledge as a source matter expert and to FLEOA Legislative VP Duncan Templeton for his dedication and support of FLEOA legislativew issues.
