AI Summary
This bill directs the State Department of Fish and Wildlife to create a fish incubation nursery program focused on rearing salmonids (a family of fish that includes salmon and trout) in specific coastal counties in southern Oregon (Coos, Curry, and Douglas), within 100 miles of the Pacific Ocean. The department is required to submit a comprehensive report about the program's establishment and operation to a legislative interim committee by September 15, 2026, including any findings or recommendations. To support this initiative, the bill appropriates $470,000 from the General Fund for the 2025-2027 biennium to establish and operate the program. The bill also includes an emergency clause, which means it will take effect immediately upon passage, reflecting the perceived urgency of supporting salmon conservation and potentially addressing ecological or economic concerns related to salmonid populations in the region.
