Extends provisions related to the regulation of the amount of Jonah crabs that may be taken

This bill extends the authority to regulate the number of Jonah crabs that commercial crab permit holders and New York commercial lobster license holders may catch for an additional two years. It allows the state department to set these catch limits through regulation until December 31, 2026, provided the rules align with existing fishery management plans from the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission and federal conservation laws. The legislation ensures that these regulatory powers remain in place without requiring new legislation to update the expiration date.
