Notice of public hearing for adoption of new rules pertaining to the Smith River bonus point permit system
Sep 8, 2023 9:14 AM
The 2023 Legislature passed House Bill (HB) 846, which created a bonus point authority for Smith River permit applications, limited permits for nonresidents, and provided rulemaking authority to the board. The purpose of the proposed rules is to mimic the already successfully implemented hunting bonus point system, which will provide consistency and clarity for the public and the agency in this new permitting process.
