House Bill No. 6250, also known as Special Act No. 25-23, mandates the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) to prepare a comprehensive report on the environmental conservation police. This report will cover several key areas, including the number of conservation police officers and special conservation police officers appointed over the past four years, statistics on calls for service, enforcement of statutory and regulatory provisions, and a benchmarking analysis of staffing and enforcement statistics against comparable states. The report is required to be submitted to the relevant joint standing committees of the General Assembly by February 1, 2026.

The bill does not contain any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that outlines the specific requirements for the report. This includes the focus on staffing levels, service calls, enforcement statistics, and comparative analysis, ensuring that the DEEP provides a thorough evaluation of the environmental conservation police's effectiveness and resource allocation. The act was approved by the Governor on July 8, 2025.
