This bill enacts a new provision in Louisiana law to create the "Marine Finfish Stock Enhancement Fund" within the Conservation Fund. The fund is specifically designated for the conservation, restoration, and enhancement of the red drum fish population. Authorized uses of the fund include activities such as the purchase, transportation, tagging, release, and monitoring of red drum, as well as genetic testing, hatchery production, stocking efforts, and academic research. Additionally, any appropriations, grants, gifts, or donations received for these purposes will be credited to the fund.

The bill stipulates that the funds will be managed similarly to the state general fund, with all interest earned being deposited back into the fund, following constitutional requirements. Furthermore, any unexpended or unencumbered funds at the end of the fiscal year will remain available for future use within the fund. This legislative action aims to enhance the management and sustainability of the red drum population in Louisiana.
