Agency Rules

The Conservation Commission implements, prescribes, or interprets the statutes passed by the Legislature through administrative rules. The Commission proposes and the Legislature approves state agency administrative rule(s) to carry out the statutory or policy mandates found in enabling statutes. Last year the Commission’s fee rule was presented to the Legislature which adjourned before approving any fee rules. The rules submitted remain in effect as temporary rules though since the Governor approved the extension of fee rules temporarily. The proposed rule seeks to have the Legislature approve the fee rule permanently this year (and is the same rule that was proposed last year).
