Game and Fish to continue advisory work on fishing outfitters and guides
Summary
The Game and Fish Department asked the committee to track the advisory committee work required by prior legislation and to expect possible statutory follow‑ups based on the advisory committee’s recommendations.
Angie Bruce presented an update on fishing outfitters and guides tied to recent legislative work. She reminded the committee that an amendment to the bill established an advisory committee to recommend how the commission should regulate outfitters and guides, and that the advisory committee will report back to the legislature by November.
Bruce said the department and commission “may have some need to revisit the statute or to talk through things with you guys in a little more, extensive form,” depending on the advisory committee’s recommendations. Committee members noted the topic has been the subject of substantial cross‑chamber discussion and expressed interest in reviewing any statutory or administrative changes the advisory group proposes.
The committee asked staff to make sure meeting dates align so the November report is received when legislators can consider it; committee leaders said they will consult with staff to reconcile schedules if commission meetings conflict with interim travel plans.
