RULES AND REGULATIONS

Title 58--RECREATION

GAME COMMISSION

[58 PA. CODE CH. 143]

Corrective Amendment to 58 Pa. Code §§ 143.42 and 143.51

[31 Pa.B. 4088]

   The Game Commission has discovered a discrepancy between the agency text of 58 Pa. Code §§ 143.42 and 143.51 (relating to definitions; and application and issuance of surplus tags) as deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau and the official text published at 31 Pa.B. 2926 (June 9, 2001), and scheduled for Pennsylvania Code supplement to be published in the Pennsylvania Code Reporter (Master Transmittal Sheet No. 321) in August 2001. The definition of ''private land'' was not deleted in § 143.42; and in § 143.51, subsection (f)(1)--(4) was not deleted.

   Therefore, under 45 Pa.C.S. § 901: The Game Commission has deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau a corrective amendment to 58 Pa. Code §§ 143.42 and 143.51. The corrective amendment to 58 Pa. Code §§ 143.42 and 143.51 is effective as of August 4, 2001, the date the defective official text will be announced in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

   The correct version of 58 Pa. Code §§ 143.42 and 143.51 appears in Annex A.
