Determines that DEP's 2026-2027 Game Code rules, proposed April 6, 2026, are inconsistent with legislative intent.
This Senate Concurrent Resolution declares that the Department of Environmental Protection's proposed 2026-2027 rules for crossbows are inconsistent with legislative intent. The bill specifically challenges new requirements regarding crossbow length, draw length, and maximum draw weight, arguing that these changes conflict with industry standards and lack supporting scientific research. If the resolution is transmitted to the Governor and the DEP Commissioner, the agency has 30 days to amend or withdraw the proposed rules, or the Legislature may vote to invalidate them entirely.
