This bill aims to amend and reenact section 64-10-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to authorize the Division of Natural Resources to promulgate a legislative rule concerning general hunting. The specific legislative rule in question was filed in the State Register on September 3, 2024, and is authorized under the existing authority of 20-1-7 of the code.

The bill includes the insertion of new language that formally grants the Division of Natural Resources the authority to implement this rule, while it does not specify any deletions from the current law. The overall purpose is to ensure that the Division has the necessary legal backing to regulate hunting practices effectively.
