RULES AND REGULATIONS

Title 58--RECREATION

FISH AND BOAT COMMISSION

[58 PA. CODE CH. 65]

Corrective Amendment to 58 Pa. Code § 65.6

[35 Pa.B. 6239]

   The Fish and Boat Commission (Commission) has discovered a discrepancy between the agency text of 58 Pa. Code § 65.6 (relating to delayed harvest artificial lures only areas), as deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau, and the official text published at 35 Pa.B. 5261, 5263 (September 24, 2005) and scheduled to be codified in the December 2005 Pennsylvania Code Reporter (Master Transmittal Sheet No. 373). The amendment of § 65.6 inadvertently omitted the text of existing paragraph (4).

   Therefore, under 45 Pa.C.S. § 901: The Fish and Boat Commission has deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau a corrective amendment to 58 Pa. Code § 65.6. The corrective amendment to 58 Pa. Code § 65.6 is effective as of January 1, 2006, the effective date for the amendment of § 65.6 as ordered by the Commission.

   The correct version of 58 Pa. Code § 65.6 appears in Annex A.
