CFEC Budget

The Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission is being significantly impacted by past and current budget restrictions. As the table below indicates CFEC is on a maintenance budget and has lost six full-time positions since FY91. Essentially the Commission has been forced to eliminate personnel each year to meet budget restrictions. At the same time the Commission has contributed substantial revenues annually to the State while expenditures have only amounted to half that much.
