DNR rule relating to transporting and selling wildlife parts and pelts

Senate Bill 412 authorizes the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (DNR) to implement a rule (58 CSR 16) regulating the transportation and sale of wildlife parts and pelts. This rule, filed in the State Register on September 3, 2024, will directly affect hunters, trappers, and businesses involved in wildlife trade by requiring specific handling and documentation standards. The bill does not create new rules but formally approves the DNR's existing proposed rule, ensuring it becomes enforceable under state law. This change aims to clarify legal requirements for those handling wildlife products while maintaining consistent enforcement.
