Sec. 16.43.500. - Renewal of vessel permits.

(a) A vessel interim-use permit or vessel entry permit is issued for one year and must be renewed annually.

(b) A vessel interim-use permit or vessel entry permit may not be renewed until the fees for each preceding year during which the permit has not been renewed are paid.

(c) Failure to renew a vessel entry permit for two consecutive years from the year of last renewal results in a forfeiture of the permit unless the forfeiture is waived by the commission for good cause. If an administrative closure of a fishery occurs for an entire season, the commission may not count the season toward the two-year period.
