Relates to the management of oysters
This bill extends the New York Department of Environmental Conservation's authority to manage oyster fisheries until December 31, 2027 (previously set to expire in 2025). It allows the department to continue enforcing existing regulations on oyster size, catch limits, seasons, closed areas, permits, and transportation rules without new legislative changes. The extension directly affects oyster harvesters, processors, and coastal communities relying on regulated oyster management. The bill does not alter the types of rules the department can set, only the duration of its current regulatory authority.
