HB 289

HB 289
Folks,
This bill is up Thursday, 2/2/17 at 3pm. Please work this one hard! SUPPORT
Moga is trying to beat the intent of the law by keeping “emergency” and its definition out of statute. Please help us in trying to protect the resident and non-resident sportsmen/women! Contact House F&G House Fish, Wildlife & Parks Committee
An MSA bill revising Outfitter Assistant (OA) Laws: An effort to force some credibility in the OA laws and enable the Board of Outfitters (Boo) to set rules. It puts the definition of “emergency guide” in statute and allows for Boo rule making.
Currently the OA law is being abused regularly and there has been no check on its use. It contains a provision that requires the outfitter to tell the client before the trip that they have an OA and if they have a first aid card. Is this being done?? No checking has been done.
Boo is pretty dysfunctional with MOGA controlling most votes. Clearly, they don’t want any audits on OA use.
PLEASE Support
