After receiving feedback from stakeholders and members of the public, the Commission is removing proposed changes to the use and sale of live baitfish.&nbsp; Amendments to R12-4-314 (Possession, Transportation, or Importation of Aquatic Wildlife) and R12-4-411 (Live Bait Dealers License) are removed from this Notice of Supplemental Proposed Rulemaking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the rulemaking clarifies that the use of a pneumatic weapon using bolts or arrows during an archery-only hunting season is limited to persons who possess both a crossbow permit issued under R12-4-216 and a Challenged Access\/Mobility Permit (CHAMP) issued under R12-4-217.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The remaining proposed amendments are not affected from the previous comment period. Those amendments are designed to clarify current rule language; protect public health and safety and private property rights; facilitate job growth and economic development; support Fair Chase principles and the tenets of the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation; enable the Department to provide better customer service; and reduce regulatory and administrative burdens wherever possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azgfd.com\/about-arizona-game-fish\/commission-public-information\/rulemaking\/\">www.azgfd.com\/about-arizona-game-fish\/commission-public-information\/rulemaking\/<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/azsos.gov\/rules\/arizona-administrative-register\">https:\/\/azsos.gov\/rules\/arizona-administrative-register<\/a>, to view the Notice of Supplemental Proposed Rulemaking.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Public comments will be accepted through Nov. 6, 2023 by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Email<\/strong>: <a href=\"mailto:rulemaking@azgfd.gov\">rulemaking@azgfd.gov<\/a>, or <a href=\"mailto:msumner@azgfd.gov\">msumner@azgfd.gov<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>U.S. Mail<\/strong>: Arizona Game and Fish Department, Attn.: Celeste Cook, Rules and Policy Manager, 5000 W.
