§189-6  Licenses for marine life from waters
not within state jurisdiction.  Any other provision of law to the contrary
notwithstanding, wherever the possession or sale of marine life or products
within the State is prohibited as for instance by a closed season, the
prohibition shall not apply where the marine life or products have been taken
from or caught outside of the waters of the State and the possession or sale
has been licensed by the department of land and natural resources under rules
adopted by the department.  The department may make rules pursuant to chapter
91 governing the issuance, suspension, and revocation and all other terms of
the licenses.  In addition, the department may specify in the rules that any
berried, undersized, or out-of-season lobsters taken from the waters of the
Northwestern Hawaiian Islands may not be possessed and sold under authority of
the license. [L 1929, c 187, §8; RL 1935, §337; RL 1945, §1261; am L 1947, c
