TSV host Fred Bird is joined again by CSF’s Conner Barker for this edition of the TSV Roundup. On this week of March 18th, Fred and Conner kick it off with the lead story of Kentucky Senate Bill 3, which aims to restructure the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife. The bill proposes attaching fish and wildlife to the Department of Agriculture and giving the Commissioner of Agriculture the appointment power over all nine commission seats. This raises concerns about industry influences and the potential impact on science-based wildlife management. The bill has garnered national attention and opposition from sportsmen's organizations. Action alerts and social media campaigns are being used to rally support and encourage legislators to oppose the bill. Fred then covers the ACE Reauthorization Act, CWD funding in Oregon, firearm bills in Oklahoma, and a caucus member winning the Conservation Leadership Award in New Jersey.
