Certain Tax Policies Could Be Hindering Public Access to Fishing
While taxes are essential for funding public services and conservation efforts, there are concerns that certain policies could unintentionally impede public access to recreational boating and fishing opportunities. CCA South Carolina is joining boating and fishing groups across the state on S.317. Tomorrow, the South Carolina Senate Finance Property Tax Subcommittee will have the chance to advance this piece of legislation and reduce costs associated with access to our public waterways for thousands of South Carolina recreational anglers and boaters. Striking a balance between funding conservation efforts and ensuring that fishing remains accessible to the public is key to maintaining a healthy and sustainable fishing environment. Given South Carolina is a nationally recognized leader in both the boat manufacturing and recreational fishing industries, you can view CCA South Carolina’s full letter to Senate leadership on the matter here.
