STATEMENT OP PURPOSE
RS08944
The Winter Feeding Advisory Committees have been constructive, effective
voices for advising the Department of Fish and Game on controversial issues.
However, there has been no mechanism for the various committees to discuss
and coordinate idea and policies.
This proposal provides for the appointment by each committee of a chairman
who may meet and coordinate with other chairman on a statewide basis.
FISCAL NOTE
None.
