DNR rule relating to special waterfowl hunting
SB 419 authorizes West Virginia's Division of Natural Resources (DNR) to implement an existing regulatory rule (58 CSR 58) governing special waterfowl hunting seasons and regulations. The bill formally amends state code to recognize the DNR's authority to enforce this rule, which directly affects waterfowl hunters participating in designated special hunting seasons. This is a procedural authorization - no new hunting rules are created, only the existing rule is formally recognized under statute. The rule itself, filed in September 2024, remains unchanged.
