The commission may take action on all matters specifically noticed on any agenda.
Extensive opportunity is provided for public comment on hunting, fishing and trapping regulations. As a matter of equity for citizens who cannot attend commission meetings, when making final decisions on these regulations, the commission will not open public comment unless a significant amendment to the tentative proposal is brought forth by the commission or department. Comments will be limited to the amendment only. Time for comment may be limited at the Chair's discretion.
The department ensures its meetings are fully accessible to persons with disabilities and if special accomodations are needed, please contact the Executive Office Manager in the Director's Office at 406-444-7826 or by cell at 406-594-8921.
