The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 641, aims to establish a pilot program for a boat washing station at Gardner Lake in the town of Salem. This initiative is designed to address the issue of invasive plants that can be transported on the hull, prop, and motor of boats, thereby protecting the local ecosystem and promoting environmental sustainability.

The bill introduces new legal language to amend the general statutes, specifically to include provisions for the implementation of the boat washing station. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text of the bill. The overall goal of this legislation is to mitigate the spread of invasive species in Gardner Lake, enhancing the health of the aquatic environment.
