The bill S. 337 proposes an amendment to Section 50-13-640 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which regulates the possession of blue catfish. The amendment establishes a daily limit of seventy-five blue catfish that can be taken from state waterways, excluding Lake Marion, Lake Moultrie, and the upper reach of the Santee River, where the limit remains at twenty-five blue catfish per day.

This change aims to provide clearer guidelines for fishing regulations in South Carolina, allowing for increased catch limits in most waterways while maintaining stricter limits in specific areas to protect local fish populations. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
