Said temporary operation shall not exceed thirty (30) days. If after thirty days the live bait dealer is unable to make repairs, the Executive Director or his designee may extend the period of temporary operations. Subject to prior approval live bait dealers unable to secure a live bait catcher boat or experiencing difficulty obtaining live bait shrimp may buy from other licensed live bait camps or commercial shrimpers. Licensed live bait dealers buying live shrimp from other licensed live bait dealers must make application for permission to the Executive Director or his designee in writing. Application must identify licensed live bait dealers they are buying shrimp from.
