AI Summary

This bill authorizes the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to independently add to the lists of prohibited and regulated invasive species on an emergency basis, pending review by the Department of Agriculture and Markets in consultation with the New York Invasive Species Council. This allows the DEC to quickly respond to emerging invasive species threats without the standard review process, which can be important for protecting the state's ecosystems.
