SB 382 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Division of Natural Resources rule relating to prohibitions when hunting and trapping

SB 382 authorizes the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources to implement a rule that outlines prohibitions for hunting and trapping activities. This rule, previously filed in the State Register on July 25, 2025, would establish specific restrictions affecting hunters and trappers statewide. The bill does not create new prohibitions but formally authorizes an existing rule to take effect under state law. It is a procedural measure to ensure the rule is legally enforceable.
