Sounds good to me!
From the PFBC site:
The newly-signed law provides that proceeds from the sale of the permit will continue to be deposited into a restricted account until Dec. 31, 2014, and extends their use to projects that protect or improve fish habitat. In the past, funds were restricted to projects that provide public fishing access.
“With this legislation, the Lake Erie permit program will now play an additional important role by providing funding to sustain and improve the natural resources that support an excellent fishery,” said PFBC Executive Director Douglas J. Austen. “Since the program was introduced, the Commission has secured public access to more than 10 miles of stream. Now we’ll be able to use some of that money for equally important fish habitat projects in the Lake Erie watershed.”
The new law, which takes effect Oct. 26, also extends the Lake Erie permit requirement to Conneaut Creek, Turkey Creek and their tributaries and allows the Commission to use proceeds for projects in and along those waters.
