Bill overview
This bill, the Public Water Supply Invasive Species Compliance Act of 2023, aims to reduce potential conflicts between federal laws protecting wildlife and the transfer of water between public water supplies in Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana. It creates an exemption from certain Lacey Act prohibitions for specific water transfers, provided that the water contains no newly introduced prohibited species, is subject to approved mitigation measures like chemical treatment or filtration, or is transferred through a closed system to a treatment facility. The bill also requires notification of these transfers to ensure transparency and coordinated management.
