Board endorses NDOW e‑tag proposal after opt‑out language added
Summary
Advisory board members supported Commission General Regulation 5.22 (e‑tag validation) after staff added language that allows users to opt out of location sharing; members said the change addressed a central privacy concern and voted to back the regulation.
The board reviewed Commission General Regulation 5.22 on e‑tag (electronic tag) validation for hunting. Members said the department added language allowing customers to opt in or out of location sharing, addressing the CAB's principal privacy concern. One member summarized that the app originally appeared to provide location data to the department but that the regulation now clarifies an opt‑out option.
A motion was made to support Commission General Regulation 5.22 as presented; the motion received a second and the board voted in favor. Members emphasized that customers may elect to opt out and that traditional paper tags will remain an option for those who do not use e‑tags.
