Lake Erie commercial fishing licenses are the sole property of the Commonwealth. When a licensee of gear licensed under § 69.21 (relating to limitations on numbers and types of licenses) ceases commercial fishing, that license for that gear may be transferred to a qualified applicant who acquires possession of the licensed gear. The transferee shall pay the full license fee for the year in which the license is transferred. Transfers of licenses are subject to approval of the Commission based upon conditions existing at the time of proposed transfer. Licensees may not represent to potential transferees that the transfer of a license is a right or is otherwise guaranteed by statute or regulation.
