Natural resources: hunting; posting of rules and regulations by a certain date; require. Amends secs. 40113a & 41103 of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.40113a & 324.41103).

SB 67 modifies Michigan’s hunting and fishing regulation process by requiring the Natural Resources Commission to issue annual hunting/fishing orders by August 1, or risk them being invalid until the next season. It mandates 30 days’ advance notice to specific legislative committees before issuing such orders and specifies detailed public notification methods, including newspaper publications and inclusion in annual guides. The bill affects the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (which enforces these rules) and hunters/fishermen who rely on timely, clear rule announcements. These changes streamline procedural requirements for rule implementation without altering hunting/fishing restrictions themselves.
