The department is holding a series of 11 open meetings for the purpose of receiving the public' s comments regarding proposed changes to regulations governing game wildlife, hunting and trapping. The proposals addressed at the meeting series are those regulations or regulation amendments which the Board of Game and Inland Fisheries proposed at its March 6, 2003 meeting.
A public comment period opened on the proposed regulation amendments on March 6 and will close May 1, 2003. The proposals are available on the department' s web site, www.dgif.state.va.us , at the department' s central and regional offices, published in the Virginia Register of Regulations, and will be available at the public meetings.
The public input meeting series is being held prior to the board meeting of May 1, 2003, at which the Board intends to adopt final regulations or regulation amendments. The 11 public input meetings are supplemental public hearings to the two hearings which occur at March 6 and May 1 Board meetings. Comments received on the proposals at the public input meetings will be summarized and reported to the Board for their consideration at the May 1, 2003 meeting prior to their adopting final regulations.
