Bill > SB5675

This bill aims to improve the management of fish and wildlife in Washington state by establishing a commission nominating committee to recommend members for the fish and wildlife commission. The bill requires commission members to be confirmed by the Senate, support science-based management, and have no conflicts of interest. It also gives the commission more authority in setting hunting, fishing, and trapping regulations, and requires them to demonstrate their decisions are based on peer-reviewed science. Additionally, the bill provides a process for removing commission members who fail to fulfill their duties or engage in misconduct.
