Legislation sponsored by Sen. Dan Stec (R,C-Queensbury) and Assemblymember Carrie Woerner (D-Round Lake) to address and better combat aquatic invasive species statewide has been signed into law by Gov. Hochul. Senate bill S5836/Assembly bill A5801 enables town boards to further address and combat invasive aquatic invertebrate species, as they are currently only able to address invasive plants under state law.
