This week, Governor Brad Little signed into law Senate Bill 1372, a key funding bill to support the State of Idaho’s fight against invasive quagga mussels in Idaho waterways. The increase in funding will go toward the ongoing prevention and monitoring of invasive species and future preparedness for ISDA's rapid response. ISDA is appreciative of Governor Little, Lieutenant Governor Bedke, Legislators and partners who remain dedicated in supporting our fight against invasive species. #idahoagriculture #invasivespeciesawareness #CleanDrainDry
