AI Summary
This bill appropriates $100,000 from the General Fund to the State Department of Fish and Wildlife for a pikeminnow bounty program during the 2025-2027 biennium. Specifically, the bill establishes a program that will pay $5 for each pikeminnow caught, provided that the capture complies with existing wildlife laws. Pikeminnow are a type of fish that are often considered invasive or problematic in certain ecosystems, and bounty programs are sometimes used as a method of population control. The bill includes an emergency clause, which means it will take effect immediately upon passage, reflecting the state's urgent desire to implement this fish management strategy. The funds are designated as continuously available until expended, giving the department flexibility in implementing the program over time.
