***Update***

The Horseshoe Crab Protection Act (Act S.4289 /A.4997)

The act has passed both the NY State Senate and Assembly so, all it needs to become law, is for Governor Hochul to sign it.

YOU CAN HELP by sending a postcard, letter or email to Governor Kathy Hochul asking her to sign the Horseshoe Crab Protection
