House Bill 1806 amends the Parks and Wildlife Code to expand the applicability of a provision relating to fraud in freshwater fishing tournaments to include saltwater fishing tournaments. The bill makes it an offense if, with the intent to affect the outcome of a fishing tournament, a person alters the length or weight of a fish for the purpose of representing that the fish as entered in the tournament was that length or weight when caught or enters a fish in the tournament that was taken in violation of any provision of the Parks and Wildlife Code or a proclamation or regulation of the Parks and Wildlife Commission.
