. (a) In addition to a valid California sport fishing license
and any applicable sport license stamp issued pursuant to this code,
after January 1, 1993, a person taking steelhead trout in inland
waters shall have in his or her possession a valid nontransferable
steelhead trout fishing report-restoration card issued by the
department. The cardholder shall record certain fishing information
on the card as designated by the department. The month, day, and
location fished shall be recorded before the cardholder begins
fishing for the day and when the cardholder moves to another location
listed on the back of the report-restoration card. The cardholder
shall immediately record catch information upon keeping a steelhead
trout and immediately record catch information regarding released
steelhead trout whenever the cardholder finishes fishing for the day,
or moves to another location listed on the back of the
report-restoration card. The cardholder shall return the card to the
department on a schedule or date established by the department.
(b) The base fee for the card shall be five dollars ($5) for the
2004 license year, which may be adjusted annually thereafter pursuant
to Section 713. The funds received by the department from the sale
of the card shall be deposited in the Fish and Game Preservation Fund
and shall be available for expenditure upon appropriation by the
Legislature. The department shall maintain the internal
accountability necessary to ensure that all restrictions and
requirements pertaining to the expenditure of these funds are met.
(c) The commission shall adopt regulations necessary to implement
this section. These regulations shall include, but not be limited to,
procedures necessary to obtain appropriate steelhead trout resources
management information, a requirement that the card contain a
statement explaining potential uses of the funds received as
authorized by Section 7381, and a requirement that the cards be
returned to the department.
