AN ACT REQUIRING A STUDY OF THE LEVEL OF HYDRILLA IN STATE LAKES FOR PURPOSES OF REMEDIATION.

SB 76 requires the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to study hydrilla levels in state lakes. The study will assess hydrilla's ecological threat and determine the funding needed for cleanup efforts. This bill directly affects state lakes and the department responsible for environmental management. It does not make new laws or impose immediate requirements, but mandates a factual assessment to inform future decisions. The bill's purpose is strictly to gather data, not to enact remediation measures.
