The bill amends the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act by updating section 48721 regarding fish possession limits. It establishes that individuals cannot possess more than the daily possession limit of fish at the location where they were caught or while en route to their automobile or residence. The language has been revised to replace "his or her" with "the individual's" for clarity and inclusivity.

Additionally, the bill allows individuals to possess an extra two days' worth of fish that have been processed through canning, smoking, drying, or freezing outside their residence. Inside their residence, individuals can possess an unlimited number of processed fish using the same methods. The bill also clarifies that processed fish aboard a vessel or at dockside are considered to be in the individual's possession. Lastly, it maintains the prohibition against possessing fish that have been illegally taken.
