Bill > S07771

This bill extends the authority of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to manage American shad (a type of fish scientifically known as Alosa sapidissima) until December 31, 2028. Specifically, the bill amends a section of the environmental conservation law by changing the previous expiration date of December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2028. This extension allows the DEC to continue its existing management and conservation efforts for American shad for an additional three years beyond the previously established date. The bill is straightforward in its purpose, simply updating the legal timeframe for the department's management responsibilities, and it takes effect immediately upon passage.
