BILL NUMBER:S7851 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to aquatic invasive species, spread prevention, and penalties PURPOSE: To amend the Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) by adding a new sections that would require individuals to clean, drain and dry watercrafts and gear when entering and leaving a boat launch site. Recreational boating is one of the primary ways in which invasive species are inadvertently transported overland to new waterways. Taking measures to clean, drain and dry watercrafts and gear after each use is a simple step that should be taken to prevent the spread of invasive species and protect our waterways as well as the industries that depend on them. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: This legislation adds new sections to require the removal of all visible plants and animals from motorized and non-motorized watercraft and related gear when entering and leaving a launch site. Additionally, the legislation requires the draining of watercrafts, including bilge areas, livewells, bait wells and ballast tanks when entering and leaving a launch site.
