I am not sure what is going on. According to the link below the State DNR commission approved the changes on January 11th. In Indiana changes to state laws take effect July 1st. Hopefully they will get it done for this coming season. On January 11th there was a blip on the news that the changes had passed, but I am not sure if the legislates have to approve these changes during session if these changes have to be approved only by the State DNR folks.
