An Act Concerning A Rapid Response Program For Certain Aquatic Invasive Species.

Became law

This already passed. Here's what you can still do.

1. Push for repeal or amendment

Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.

→ Write to your rep

3. Tell people the bill affects

Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

To establish a rapid response program and protocol for the elimination and containment of hydrilla and other aquatic invasive species in the state.
