Bill > HB1549

This bill amends Missouri state law by creating a new section that officially designates April 22nd of each year as "Missouri Black Bear Awareness Day". The legislation encourages citizens of Missouri to participate in events and activities focused on educating the public about black bear conservation efforts in the state. By establishing this annual observance, the bill aims to raise awareness about Missouri's black bear population and promote understanding of efforts to protect and preserve these animals. Such awareness days are typically designed to highlight the importance of wildlife conservation, provide educational opportunities, and foster community engagement around a specific environmental or wildlife-related topic.
