Notice of Proposed Rulemaking: Hunter Education Instructor Incentive Tags (Title 14, Section 360, CCR)

February 7, 2014

The purpose of the proposed amendment is to add provisions to the regulations which will allow the use of 10 X-Zone deer tags by the Department for use as incentives to volunteer Hunter Education Instructors to join or remain in the program.  This proposal would implement Section 3051 of the Fish and Game Code which directs the Department to use up to a maximum of 15 tags as incentives.
