Directs the Councils and Secretary to ensure that any such proposed system comply with certain requirements. Prohibits approval or implementation by the Secretary of any plan or amendment establishing such a system unless it has been approved by more than two-thirds of those voting in a referendum among eligible permit holders or crewmembers who derive a certain percentage of their annual income from the fishery.

Sets forth requirements for review committees established by each Council.

Establishes fees to be collected from persons that hold or transfer a quota share issued under a limited access system or an individual fishing quota program.
