Relating to authorizing the Division of Natural Resources to promulgate a legislative rule relating to deer hunting.
HB 4332 authorizes West Virginia's Division of Natural Resources to implement a specific hunting rule (58 CSR 50) regarding deer hunting regulations. The bill formally approves a legislative rule that was previously filed with the State Register on March 31, 2025, under existing authority. This procedural bill directly affects deer hunters in West Virginia who must follow the approved rule for hunting seasons, bag limits, or other deer management practices. It does not change hunting laws itself but confirms the Division’s authority to enforce the existing proposed rule.
