AI Summary
This bill directs the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) to conduct a comprehensive study of fish stocking protocols, with a specific focus on salmon and other fish species. The study will examine critical environmental factors that impact fish survival, including dissolved oxygen levels in water, water temperature, water flows, and potential alternative release locations. ODFW is required to prepare a detailed report, which may include legislative recommendations, and submit it to the Oregon Legislative Assembly's interim environmental committees by September 15, 2026. The bill includes a sunset provision, meaning the study mandate will automatically expire on January 2, 2027, after which the department will no longer be obligated to conduct this specific research. This type of legislative study is designed to help policymakers better understand current fish stocking practices and potentially improve conservation and fishery management strategies in Oregon.
