HB 2339 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to authorizing the Division of Natural Resources to promulgate a legislative rule relating to special waterfowl hunting

HB 2339 authorizes West Virginia's Division of Natural Resources (DNR) to adopt an existing proposed rule (58 CSR 58) governing special waterfowl hunting. This bill directly affects hunters participating in designated waterfowl hunting areas by enabling the DNR to implement specific regulations for those zones. The key provision formally approves the rule already filed in the State Register on September 3, 2024, which outlines hunting protocols for special waterfowl seasons. The bill does not create new hunting rules but allows the DNR to proceed with the established regulatory framework.
