S 9588 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Extends provisions of law relating to the taking of sharks

This bill extends the expiration date of existing laws that regulate the taking of sharks in New York State. The legislation amends a 2014 law that was previously set to expire in 2026, pushing the deadline to December 31, 2028. It directly affects individuals and entities involved in shark fishing, research, or conservation activities by maintaining current regulatory protections for a longer period. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage and requires no additional mechanisms beyond extending the existing statutory timeline.
