Below are two of the Bills that are being addressed by both houses of the North Carolina Legislature this month. North Carolina fishermen, it is important that you take the time to phone, e-mail or write to your local legislators and let them know how you feel about getting the proper legislation passed. Look how far this has already come because of the loud noise that the fishermen and boaters from North Carolina have made. In addition the N.C.D.O.T and N.C. Highway Patrol has given their approval to their state government to make these needed changes.

Many thanks go to the congress men and women who have made this a priority on the short session docket!
