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

This bill extends the Department of Environmental Conservation's authority to manage squid populations until December 31, 2029. The change updates the existing legal timeframe for these management efforts, allowing the department to continue regulating squid fishing and conservation activities under current rules. By amending the Environmental Conservation Law, the legislation ensures that oversight of squid resources remains in place for an additional period. The act takes effect immediately upon passage.
