Text of measure
The language appeared on the ballot as:[1]
| “ | Proposition No. 5: The initiative would repeal a law regulating entry into Alaska commercial fisheries. This law limits entry only in fisheries in distress caused by declining fish stocks and too many commercial fishermen. The law permits a commission to limit the number of units of commercial fishing gear on the basis of conservation and economics. The initial issue of permits is based on past participation and economic dependence. Permits are freely transferable. The commission may buy back permits or issue additional permits based on future conditions of the fishery. Permit issuance began in 1974; thousands have been issued.[2] | ” |
