Sponsor's memo

BILL NUMBER:S7159A

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 oysters

Purpose or general idea of bill

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

Summary of specific provisions

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

Justification

Extending DEC's regulatory authority over oysters is necessary in order to preserve the current regulatory program. Failure to extend the existing regulatory authority by December 31, 2014 will result in a loss of protections for these species.

Prior legislative history

Last extended by Chapter 431 of the Laws of 2011.

Fiscal implications

None to the State.

Effective date

This act shall take effect immediately.
