The
Fish and Boat Commission is the state agency with authority to adopt rules and regulations regarding fishing and boating.
Before a regulation becomes final, the Commission must first publish a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Pennsylvania
Bulletin seeking comments, objections or suggestions from the public. Comments are accepted for at least 30 days.
After the public comment period, the Commission considers the proposed amendment
"on final rulemaking." If adopted on final rulemaking, the amendment becomes effective on the date of publication
in the Pennsylvania Bulletin or other date specified by the
Commission.
The Commission also publishes notices regarding issues, such as access closures, exclusive use areas and proposed
special regulation designations. The Commission may or may not seek comments regarding these issues. Check individual
notices for more information. View more information about the rulemaking process
