dec 21, 2000 - Signed by the President
Description:
This bill was signed by Bill Clinton, and then became a law. Bill Clinton was a Democrat.
This law had forbidden finning by any vessels in the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone. It also prohibited any fishing vessel from landing at a U.S. port with shark fins whose weight exceeds 5% of the total weight of shark carcasses landed or on board.
The Bill lasted from Oct 12, 2000 to Dec. 21, 2000 when it was signed by the president
I chose this law because I am very interested in sea life and different sea animals.
