Recognizing August 16, 2025, as Brook Trout Day in the State of New York

This is a ceremonial resolution (not a law) designating August 16, 2025, as "Brook Trout Day" in New York State. It recognizes the brook trout as the state's official fresh-water fish and directs the resolution to be sent to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). The resolution has no legal effect or funding provisions; it solely serves to raise awareness about the brook trout's ecological and historical significance. The DEC will receive a copy of the resolution as part of this symbolic recognition.
