From what I read of the 29 pages I am thinking it is good. If the state is going to have laws that non residents have to use a guide for certain species than I think they should be held accountable.

I like the transporter part as well. I know of a few transporters that you might as well call a guide.

I think at this point in the game in Alaska they need to make it harder to be a guide. It is not real hard to get your guides license right now and so over time the market will get even more saturated with un qualified people guiding. Also by making it harder I think it will cut down on one guy running his packers, assistants etc as guides so he can turn more business.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Guide or Transporter have a book of the rules that the guide or transporter is supposed to follow as well be given to each client and let them be aware of how their guide or transpoter is supposed to be operating.
