Extends the authority of the department of environmental conservation to manage blueback herring
This bill extends the Department of Environmental Conservation's legal authority to manage blueback herring populations until December 31, 2029. The change amends the state's environmental conservation law to update the expiration date for the department's management powers over this specific fish species. Once enacted, the department will retain its ability to oversee and regulate blueback herring conservation efforts for an additional three years. The legislation takes effect immediately upon passage.
