DNR rule relating to special fishing
This bill authorizes the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (DNR) to implement its existing rule (58 CSR 61) for "special fishing" regulations. It does not create new fishing rules but formally adopts a legislative rule the DNR previously proposed and filed in the State Register on August 14, 2024. The rule applies to specific fishing activities under DNR management, such as restricted seasons or locations, directly affecting anglers who participate in these designated fishing opportunities. The bill serves as a procedural step to confirm the rule's validity under existing law (§20-1-7).
