Extends the authority of the department of environmental conservation to manage scup

This bill extends the Department of Environmental Conservation's authority to manage scup fishing until December 31, 2029. It allows the department to set rules for this fishery, such as size limits, seasonal closures, and gear restrictions, provided these rules are not stricter than current laws and align with federal and regional fishery plans. The changes apply directly to fishermen and businesses involved in the scup fishery. The act takes effect immediately upon passage.
