House Bill No. by Representative Mack seeks to enact a new provision in Louisiana law that prohibits the use of hoop nets and seines in specific waterways. The bill introduces R.S. 56:322.3, which explicitly states that the use of these fishing methods is banned in North Pass and Manchac Pass, extending from Interstate 55 to Lake Pontchartrain.
This legislation aims to regulate fishing practices in these areas to potentially protect local fish populations and ecosystems. The bill does not include any deletions from existing law, focusing solely on the new prohibition.
