Item 1

 
A. After conducting a written survey in the zone, a lobster
management policy council may propose to the commissioner an
exit ratio to limit new zone entrants to the zone. The
lobster management policy council may also propose to the
commissioner a provision to exempt from the requirements of
this section an individual who became eligible for but had
not been issued a Class I, Class II or Class III license
pursuant to section 6421, subsection 5, paragraph C or
former paragraph H prior to January 1, 2000 and to allow
that individual to declare the zone as that individual's
declared lobster zone. The lobster management policy
council is not required to submit the proposal to referendum
and the proposed exit ratio does not need to receive
approval through the survey in order to be forwarded to the
commissioner.

 
C. Rules adopted under this subsection must establish an
exit ratio between the number of individuals who declared
that zone as their declared lobster zone in the year prior
to the previous calendar year, but who did not declare that
zone as their declared lobster zone in the previous calendar
year, and the number of new zone entrants authorized under
subsection 7. An exit ratio established by rule under this
subsection is not required to be the same as the exit ratio
proposed by the lobster management policy council. Rules
adopted under this subsection may exempt from the
requirements of this section an individual who became
eligible for but who had not been issued a Class I, Class II
or Class III license pursuant to section 6421, subsection 5,
paragraph C or former paragraph H prior to January 1, 2000
and allow such an individual to declare the zone as that
individual's declared lobster zone.
