AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 50-13-236, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO CREEL AND SIZE LIMITS ON STRIPED BASS AND BLACK BASS FROM LAKE MURRAY, SO AS TO DELETE THE PROVISION THAT THE SIZE LIMIT ON STRIPED BASS TAKEN FROM LAKE MURRAY IS NOT IN EFFECT DURING THE MONTHS OF JUNE, JULY, AND AUGUST AND TO PROVIDE THAT DURING JULY AND AUGUST IT IS UNLAWFUL TO RETAIN MORE THAN TWO STRIPED BASS (ROCKFISH) PER DAY THAT ARE TAKEN FROM LAKE MURRAY AND LESS THAN THE LEGAL SIZE LIMIT.

No creel or size limits may be set by emergency regulations. A person taking striped bass or black bass exceeding the limits set by the department is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, must be punished as provided in Section 50-13-285.

(B) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (A), during July and August it is unlawful to retain more than two striped bass (rockfish) per day that are taken from Lake Murray and the Congaree River seaward from the Gervais Street Bridge to the lower dam of Lake Moultrie and less than the legal size limit."
