AI Summary

This bill authorizes a specific legislative rule proposed by the Division of Natural Resources (DNR) regarding falconry, which is the sport of hunting wild prey using trained birds of prey such as hawks or eagles. The bill specifically validates a rule filed in the State Register on September 3, 2024, under the legal authority of section §20-1-7 of the state code. The rule is identified by the code 58 CSR 65, which suggests it is a specific administrative regulation related to falconry practices. By authorizing this rule, the legislature is formally approving the DNR's proposed regulatory standards for falconry in West Virginia, which likely cover areas such as licensing, bird handling, hunting practices, and conservation guidelines.
