US HB1150

Amends the Endangered Species Act of 1973 to prohibit the Secretary of the Interior from listing any Wisconsin lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) population as threatened or endangered

Recognizes Wisconsin's Lake Winnebago system as home to one of the largest lake sturgeon populations in North America and the most successful sustainable sturgeon fishery in the world

Preserves Wisconsin's annual sturgeon spearing season, which uses mandatory registration stations, seasonal harvest caps, and spawning assessments to manage the population

Cites public-private collaboration among the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Sturgeon for Tomorrow, the Sturgeon Advisory Committee, and local conservation groups as having made Wisconsin a global leader in lake sturgeon management

Protects the economic interests of local communities and small businesses near the Winnebago System that rely on the annual spearing season
