BILL NUMBER: S6487 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 Atlantic cod PURPOSE OF THE BILL : The purpose of this bill is to extend the authority of the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to manage Atlantic cod. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section 1 of this bill would amend Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) § 13-0339-a(1)(a) to extend, until December 31, 2020, DEC's authority to fix by regulation measures for the management of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). Section 2 of this bill would make it effective immediately. JUSTIFICATION : DEC's regulatory authority for Atlantic cod is necessary to preserve the current regulatory program. Failure to extend the existing regulatory authority by December 31, 2017 will result in the loss of regulatory protection for these species.
