transfer restrictions; fee.
(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an ocean scallop vessel permit
issued pursuant to ORS 508.840 to 508.867 may not be transferred to another

fishery for three or more calendar years to land at least 5,000 pounds of food
fish annually.

(2) A fee of $115
shall be charged for each transfer of a vessel permit under this section. [1981
