In compliance with Governor Brewer’s agency directive and House Bill 2008 (Laws 2009, Third Special Session, Chapter 7, Section 28) the Arizona Game and Fish Commission has placed all rulemaking activities, both formal and informal, on hold throughout the remainder of fiscal year 2009 - 2010.
The new law exempts rulemaking that meets specific criteria, including but not limited to rulemakings that address the state budget, that are deregulatory, implement the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), or impact the critical public peace, health, and safety functions of an agency.
The Department’s internal review will determine which rulemaking activities meet the exemption criteria. Rulemakings that meet the exemption criteria and are presented to the Governor’s office for approval and, if approved, will be posted here; please check back.
During this time, the public may continue to submit comments regarding Department rules. Comments received in regards to any Game and Fish Commission rules will be retained by the Department to be considered once rulemaking activities are resumed.
