This bill creates the Great Lakes Mass Marking Program inside the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to tag hatchery-raised fish that are stocked in the Great Lakes. Marking these fish lets agencies tell hatchery fish apart from wild fish and measure how well hatchery operations and fishery management are working. The Fish and Wildlife Service Director could buy tagging equipment and fish tags and hire staff to run the tagging and tag-recovery work. The Director would have to work with federal, state, and tribal fish agencies and with the Great Lakes Fishery Commission's Council of Lake Committees, and would have to share the data collected. The bill authorizes $2.7 million a year from fiscal year 2026 through 2030 to run the program.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 1 organization named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 4 quarterly reports filed by 1 organization lobbying for itself in 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
The organization named: Nature Conservancy. Listed as filed. It is every client name on the filings counted here.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
