Draft regulations are reviewed by the Commission for direction and will not be finalized until a future meeting.
In addition, Commissioners will begin the formal regulatory process to implement provisions of House Bill 12-1330, which establishes a process for individuals with lengthy wildlife license suspensions to petition the Commission for reinstatement but only after serving half of their suspension or 15 years of a lifetime suspension.
Staff from Colorado Parks and Wildlife will provide informational updates to the Commission on the State Trails Program, Trail Committee selections, Snowmobile Capital Grants and the proposed calendar of Parks and Wildlife Commission meetings for 2013. A member of the public will present the Commission with a petition requesting consideration for the use of crossbows during the archery big game season in Colorado. Crossbows are currently legal for use during rifle seasons but illegal during the archery season.
