In compliance with Governor Brewer’s agency directive issued June 29, 2009, the Arizona Game and Fish Commission has placed all rulemaking activities, both formal and informal, on hold until October 17, 2009 pending an internal review.
The Governor’s directive allows agencies to pursue rulemaking that meets specific criteria: rulemakings that impact critical public peace, health and safety functions of an agency, address the state budget, that are deregulatory, or implement the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
The Department’s internal review will determine which rulemaking activities meet the Governor’s criteria. Rulemakings that meet the Governor’s criteria will be 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. |
