WILDLIFE & FISHERIES: Urges and requests the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission and the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to consider changing the daily limit and size restrictions on crappie fish in Saline-Larto Complex
This resolution urges Louisiana's Wildlife and Fisheries Commission and Department to reconsider crappie fishing rules in the Saline-Larto Complex (a large water system spanning four parishes). It specifically requests reducing the daily catch limit from 50 to 25 fish and establishing a 10-inch minimum size limit, based on concerns about declining crappie populations. The proposal follows a prior recommendation from Rapides Parish officials to protect the fishery. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change existing regulations but formally requests the Commission evaluate these adjustments. The bill directly affects recreational and commercial anglers fishing in that specific complex.

MINOR
The bill was updated from its original version to an engrossed version, primarily adding a semicolon to a sentence regarding daily crappie catch limits. This is a minor grammatical correction that does not alter the bill's legal effect or policy scope.
TECHNICAL
Added a semicolon after the phrase 'twenty-five per day' to improve sentence structure and clarity.
