Bill	Fisheries: California Ocean Resources Enhancement and Hatchery Program.	(1) Existing law establishes the California Ocean Resources Enhancement and Hatchery Program for the purpose of basic and applied research on the artificial propagation, rearing, stocking, and distribution of adversely affected marine fish species that are important to sport or commercial fishing in ocean waters south of Point Arguello.

Under existing law, the program is administered by the Director of Fish and Wildlife with the advice and assistance of the Ocean Resources Enhancement Advisory Panel. Existing law specifies the membership of the advisory panel and establishes a specified appointing authority for each member of the advisory panel. Existing law prohibits financing of any part of the program unless it has been approved by the director and by a majority of the members of the advisory panel.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20192020	AB 1949	California AB 1949 (20192020)	bill	Fisheries: California Ocean Resources Enhancement and Hatchery Program.	enacted	Boerner Horvath	7	25	8	2020-01-17	2020-09-30	openstates	ocd-bill/b844b958-eabf-4799-9c8b-de16a11f0e20	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1949	632743ade21834ff55204be4f0192f8bd121298e2d1d38587abcacdbcd323e5a	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
