Chris, this is from a previous post..Good afternoon,
Christmas week, the regulations packet (that includes changing the date of Opening Day) was approved for legal sufficiency by the office of the Attorney General. As required by statutes concerning the regulations making process, the regulations packet was then delivered electronically to the Legislative Regulations Review Committee (LRRC – the legislative committee tasked with reviewing/approving agency regulations), the legislature’s Environment Committee (they are the “committee of cognizance”), and the legislature’s Office of Fiscal Analysis (they will provide the official fiscal analysis of the proposed regulations – i.e., will this cost money?), plus current the co-chairs of the LRRC and the Environment Committee. The required hard copy was also brought over December 29, 2014 to the LRRC office.
Our proposed amendments have been put on the LRRC calendar to be reviewed for the 2/24/2015 meeting. You can find them on the LRRC webpages by clicking: Regulation Review Committee, then hit the go button to get to the list of proposed regulations submitted to the LRRC in 2014 – scroll down near the bottom for ours.
Should the LRRC approve the regulations (we are moderately confident that there are no substantive issues in this packet), it would likely take approximately a week following the LRRC meeting for the regulations to become effective.
It has always been a pet peeve of mine that the angler books weren't available until well into the season. The process needs to be changed if it can't be ready for when I purchase my license. I feel for Medski and so many others! I remember camping with my Dad was a big deal for me as a kid. He needed to schedule vacation days well in advance because it was such a popular time for people to be away! I know changes are zipped into the guide late, and the guide is finalized late to try to give us chance to take advantage of the changes right away, but it's foolish. An Angler's guide with all regulations needs to be ready to hand out the day a license is purchased!
We hear about possible changes coming down the pipe because there are so many of us here that get inside information. Most of the general public has no idea there is even a change brewing for opening day! Imagine the issues they're going to have with vacation time requests and camping reservations! So yes, it really does have an effect!
