Generally revise aquatic invasive species laws

This bill (LC 4294) aimed to update state laws governing aquatic invasive species, which directly affects lake and river management agencies, boaters, and businesses that transport watercraft. Its key mechanism would have revised regulations for preventing the spread of invasive species like zebra mussels through standardized inspection protocols and penalties for non-compliance. However, the bill died in the legislative process on May 20-22, 2025, and never became law. As a result, no new policy changes were enacted under this bill.
