Commission adopts e-tag regulation to allow electronic game tags
Summary
The commission adopted a revision to Commission General Regulation 5.22 to amend NAC 5.02 and allow electronic game tags for game, swan and turkey tags; the Chair noted advantages for immediate harvest data but acknowledged questions about affidavit/validation display.
The Elko County wildlife commission adopted Commission General Regulation 5.22 to amend Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) 5.02 to permit electronic game tags for game species as well as swan and turkey tags.
The Chair (speaker 1) described the change as enabling the department to offer game tags in ``an electronic form'' and said a key advantage would be that "we'll have the data, the harvest data, and that information comes in immediately, rather than having to wait until the end of the season or end of January." The Chair also noted concerns raised about how the affidavit and validation code would be presented (transcript phrasing: affidavit needing to be "of a sturdy material" and questions about validation). A motion to adopt the e-tag regulation was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the Chair recorded an aye vote and announced the regulation was supported.
The transcript records discussion about maintaining paper tags for users who prefer them, and that the e-tag option would not eliminate paper forms. The record does not include technical implementation timelines, software vendors, or specific validation methods; those details were not specified.
