Paint Bank and Wytheville National Fish Hatcheries Conveyance Act

This law transfers ownership of the Paint Bank and Wytheville National Fish Hatcheries from the federal government to the Commonwealth of Virginia. Under the management of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, these facilities continue to operate as part of the state’s fish culture program to support local ecosystems and recreational fishing. The law includes a requirement that the property must return to federal ownership if the state stops using the facilities for these specific conservation purposes.
