The bill, H. 3986, is a House Resolution commemorating the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Sport Fish Restoration Program, which is a key component of the American System of Conservation Funding. The resolution acknowledges the significant contributions of anglers, boaters, the sport fishing industry, and various state and federal agencies in restoring and managing fish populations and aquatic resources in South Carolina and across the United States. It highlights the historical role of sportsmen and women in advocating for conservation laws and funding mechanisms, such as excise taxes on fishing equipment, to support these efforts.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of the Sport Fish Restoration Program, established through the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act in 1950, and its expansion with the Wallop-Breaux amendment in 1984. It notes that the program has generated over $78 billion in contributions to state fish and wildlife agencies since 1939, making it the most successful conservation initiative in American history. The resolution concludes by expressing the House's recognition of this milestone and plans to present a copy of the resolution to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources.
