This resolution was introduced in the Senate and immediately referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works. For it to advance, the committee would need to consider and approve it, then it would be voted on by the full Senate. As a Senate resolution, it does not require House approval or the President's signature to pass; it only expresses the sentiment of the Senate.
If this resolution passes, you might notice increased collaboration among government agencies and community groups on lake sturgeon conservation. There could be more public education campaigns, teaching anglers and communities how to properly interact with lake sturgeon. Additionally, efforts to restore the habitats where sturgeon live and reproduce, and control invasive species, might see a boost.
