BILL NUMBER:S6973A

Title of bill

An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to extending the authority of the department of environmental conservation to manage hickory shad

Purpose or general idea of bill

The purpose of this bill is to extend the Department of Environmental Conservation's (DEC) authority to manage hickory shad.

Summary of specific provisions

This bill would extend DEC's authority to fix by regulation management measures for hickory shad in State waters until December 31, 2016.

Justification

DEC's regulatory authority over hickory shad is necessary in order to preserve the current regulatory program. Failure to extend the existing regulatory authority by December 31, 2014, will result in the loss of regulatory protection of these species. Moreover, ECL Section 13-0105, which sets forth the State's marine fisheries conservation and management policy, provides that this policy shall be carried out through achievement of certain objectives. One of these objectives is that the state's transboundary and migratory species shall be consistent with any interjurisdictional management plans, interstate or state-federal. Regulatory authority provides the mechanism to react timely to the ever changing fishery management plans.

Prior legislative history

Last extended by Chapter 291 of the Laws of 2011.

Fiscal implications

None to the State.

Effective date

This act shall take effect immediately.
