AI Summary
This bill requires the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) to conduct a comprehensive study on fish stocking protocols, focusing specifically on salmon and other fish species. The study will examine critical environmental factors including dissolved oxygen levels, water temperature, water flows, and potential alternative release locations for fish. By September 15, 2026, ODFW must submit a detailed report to the legislative assembly's environmental committees, which may include recommendations for future legislation. The bill includes a sunset provision, meaning the study mandate will automatically expire on January 2, 2027, effectively making this a time-limited research initiative designed to gather important scientific information about fish stocking practices in Oregon.
