I don't like the part about if suspect or detected, option to close the body of water.  What is the advantage of closing access to the body of water?  If boats are inspected and clean, access should not be closed.  They can essentially close for an undefined amount of time.  Years even?  This is sounding like the true objective.

Additionally, sets up another raise in fishing license coming for AIS.  Snippet below.

""In the event of a new dreissenid mussels detection in waters of the Missouri Basin, FWP
will respond following the Dreissenid Mussel Rapid Response Guidelines.  Response will
follow implementation similar to the Tiber and Canyon Ferry response including:
•  Waterbody closure until such time as mandatory exit inspection can be
implemented.
•  Enact emergency rule to require inspections for all exiting watercraft.
•  Establish mandatory watercraft inspection stations to ensure all exiting
watercraft are clean drained and dry. ""

There's a catch here.
