AI Summary

This bill requires the State Department of Fish and Wildlife to conduct an annual assessment of the provisions related to hatchery-produced fish (specifically ORS 498.850, which likely pertains to the handling or disposition of hatchery fish carcasses) and deliver a comprehensive report to legislative committees focused on natural resources by February 1st each year. The assessment aims to evaluate the effects of existing rules governing hatchery fish, and the department is authorized to include legislative recommendations based on their findings. Additionally, the bill mandates that the department make the annual report publicly accessible by posting it on their official website, thereby increasing transparency and providing lawmakers and the public with insights into the management and impacts of hatchery fish regulations. The bill's language suggests an ongoing commitment to monitoring and potentially improving fish management practices through regular review and reporting.
