Bill	Gill nets: permits.	Existing law prohibits gill nets and trammel nets from being used for commercial purposes, except under a revocable, nontransferable permit issued by the Department of Fish and Wildlife. Existing law requires the Fish and Game Commission to adopt regulations for the issuance of gill net and trammel net permits as necessary to establish an orderly gill net and trammel net fishery. Existing law prohibits the department from issuing any new gill net or trammel net permits and authorizes the department to renew an existing gill net or trammel net permit. Existing law authorizes a gill or trammel net permitholder to transfer that permit to any person qualified under the regulations adopted by the commission if the permitholder presents to the department satisfactory evidence that they have taken and landed fish for commercial purposes in at least 15 of the preceding 20 years. Existing law also authorizes the transfer of a gill or trammel net permit to another qualified individual upon the disability or death of the original permitholder, as specified.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20252026	AB 1056	California AB 1056 (20252026)	bill	Gillnets permits	enacted	Bennett	6	23	5	2025-02-20	2025-10-13	openstates	ocd-bill/18398884-ca96-4f09-b6a2-6255dce6b23f	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB1056	67307a0dd526fe62f7659f06bde5714ddf1719a504089014ef9843db81d6ad37	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
