Extends the authority of the department of environmental conservation to manage American shad

This bill extends the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's authority to manage American shad (a migratory fish species) until December 31, 2028. It amends Section 13-0339-a of the Environmental Conservation Law to update the expiration date from 2025 to 2028. The key change is simply prolonging the existing management authority for this species without altering conservation methods or regulations. The bill directly affects the Department of Environmental Conservation, which oversees the management of American shad populations in state waters.
