                                BILL NUMBER:S6988

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 fish

Purpose of the Bill:

This bill would extend the regulatory authority of the Department of
Environmental Conservation (DEC) to manage fish.

Summary of Provisions:

Section 1 of the bill would amend Environmental Conservation Law (ECL)
§ 11-1303 to extend, until December 31, 2018 DEC's authority to fix by
regulation measures for the management of fish, except marine species
regulated under ECL Article 13.

Section 2 of the bill provides for an immediate effective date.

Existing Law:

ECL § 11-1303 grants DEC regulatory authority to manage fish until
December 31, 2014. Prior Legislative History:  DEC's regulatory
authority to manage fish was last extended by Chapter 425 of the Laws
of 2011.

Statement in Support:

ECL § 11-0303 authorizes DEC to set open seasons, size and catch
limits, and the manner of taking of all species of fish, except marine
fish. If this authority is not extended beyond the current sunset date
of December 31, 2014, the existing regulations on the seasons, bag
limits, and manner of taking for freshwater fish would no longer be
enforceable and there would be no oversight of the taking of
freshwater fish in State waters. Extending DEC's authority to regulate
freshwater fish would ensure continuity in the protection of the
State's freshwater fish resources.

Budget Implications:

None.

Local Impact:

The bill would have no impact on local governments.

Effective Date:

The bill would take effect immediately.
