Statute text

The council may allocate a percentage of the contribution from one or a series of species and gear types to conduct species and gear specific programs. In developing specific programs, the council may form advisory committees comprised of harvesters and processors whose primary income is derived from the species considered for specific programs. The funds expended for any program directly benefiting a specific gear type or species of fish or shellfish shall not exceed that proportion of funds expended for general programs benefiting all the species and gear types under this chapter during each five-year term of the council. Proportional funding of species specific programs shall not be required in the annual budget for the year in which the program is first adopted, but proportional funding shall be required in the budget for each subsequent year that each such program is included in the annual budget.
