GAME COMMISSION BOARD TO MEET ON JUNE 25-26
The Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners will be meeting June 25-26, at the agency's Harrisburg headquarters, 2001 Elmerton Ave., just off the Progress Avenue exit of Interstate 81. The meetings will begin at 8:30 a.m. both days. To save money and provide greater public dissemination, an agenda for the meeting will be posted on the website (
www.pgc.state.pa.us) in the "Next Commissioner's Meeting" box on the homepage when it is finalized.
On June 25, the Board will hear public comments and receive agency staff reports and updates.
On June 26, the Board is scheduled to take official action to various agenda items, including a regulatory change to permit the use of muzzleloading firearms that are discharged by using an electronic pulse during the early October muzzleloader season and other firearms deer season; and a regulatory change to permit the use of illuminated nocks for arrows and bolts, which can be affixed at the aft end of an arrow or bolt and aid in tracking or locating the arrow or bolt after being launched.
A limited number of copies of the agenda will be made available to those who attend the meeting on June 25 and 26.
Once the June meeting ends, copies of the June meeting minutes will be posted on the website as soon as they are transcribed, which generally takes between two to three weeks.
"By posting the minutes on the website we again will be cutting the costs of printing and mailing copies of this document, and will reach a wider audience," said Carl G. Roe, Game Commission executive director. "So, this will turn out to be not only a cost-savings move, but also a move to make Game Commission actions and decisions more accessible to the public."
Roe noted that the minutes for the Board's April meeting now are posted in the "Reports/Minutes" section of the homepage.
