SB 383 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Division of Natural Resources rule relating to deer hunting

SB 383 authorizes West Virginia's Division of Natural Resources to implement a specific rule (58 CSR 50) governing deer hunting regulations. The bill formally approves a rule the Division had already proposed and filed in the State Register on March 31, 2025. This procedural authorization affects deer hunters in West Virginia by allowing the Division to enforce the established rule without needing new legislative action. The bill itself does not change hunting rules but confirms the Division's authority to enforce the existing rule.
