Aquatic Invasive Species Bill Introduced
Citing the threat of aquatic invasive species to the state's rivers, lakes, water storage, irrigation and hydroelectric systems, Montana Senator Verdell Jackson (R) introduced a bill toughening the existing rules on aquatic invasive species such as zebra mussels, quagga mussels, and milfoil.
Under this bill, state agencies will work together to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species. The first priority is public awareness and education, but the departments will also have the authority to enforce quarantine measures and inspections as well as enfore decontamination if aquatic plants are present.
