Zolts- I received this email from Elaine Hinsch on May 10th. I had written an email to her in the winter in support of the new x-bow regulations. I'm not sure what "Notice of Availability" means. Hopefully someone will clarify.
Department of Energy and Environmental Protection - Proposed Hunting and Trapping Regulations, Notice of Availability
Please see attached Notice of Availability for the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s Proposed Hunting and Trapping Regulations. Copies of the summary of public hearing comments, the principal reasons in support and in opposition to the intended action, and the final wording of the proposed regulations are available for viewing on the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s web site: http://www.ct.gov/deep/cwp/browse.asp?a=2586&deepNav_GID=1511.
Hopefully someone else will chime in, but it is my understanding that this is not a Bill that needs to be "called or voted on." This is just part of the DEEP's proposed changes to our hunting regulations for this year. I believe we are just waiting for these new regulations to be added.
