          use of spears,  spearguns  or  underwater  guns  in  recreational  and
          commercial bass fishing
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 

     1    Section 1. Section 13-0347 of the environmental  conservation  law  is
     2  amended by adding a new subdivision 5 to read as follows:
     3    5.  The  taking  of  striped  bass  by the use of spears, spearguns or
     4  underwater guns shall be  authorized  for  recreational  and  commercial
     5  purposes.   For the purposes of this subdivision, "speargun" and "under-
     6  water gun" means any speargun that stores potential energy provided from
     7  the spearfisher's muscles only and is used  while  submerged  under  the
     8  water.  Such  gun  may only release that amount of energy that the diver
     9  has provided to it from such diver's own muscles. Common temporary ener-
    10  gy storing devices for spearguns shall include, but not be  limited  to:
    11  rubber bands, springs, and sealed air chambers.

    12    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
