NOTICE OF REPEAL OF TEMPORARY EMERGENCY RULE

 

            TO: All Concerned Persons

 

1. On May 22, 2014, the department published the notice of the temporary emergency adoption of the above-stated rule at page 1081 of the 2014 Montana Administrative Register, Issue Number 10 due to multiple incidents of bears with no apparent fear of humans which led the department to believe the bears were habituated. 

 

2. The department has determined that an emergency rule is no longer necessary in order to address current bear activity. This repeal notice will be sent as a press release to newspapers throughout the state. Signs posted at the access points informing the public of the closure will be removed.

 

3. The repeal of the temporary emergency rule is effective May 16, 2014.

 

4. The bill sponsor contact requirements of 2-4-302, MCA, do not apply.
