Title 58--RECREATION PART III. GAME COMMISSION [58 PA. CODE CH. 139] Corrective Amendment to 58 Pa. Code § 139.16 [29 Pa.B. 2999] The Game Commission has discovered a discrepancy between the agency text of 58 Pa. Code § 139.16(a)(1) and (4) (relating to deer damage areas) as deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau and the official text published at 29 Pa.B. 2576 (May 15, 1999) and which will be codified in the July 1999 Pennsylvania Code Reporter (Master Transmittal Sheet No. 296). The text adopted at 29 Pa.B. 2576 did not reflect amendments to the proposed version of § 139.16(a)(1) and (4) made by the Game Commission.
Therefore, under 45 Pa.C.S. § 901: The Game Commission has deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau a corrective amendment to 58 Pa. Code § 139.16. The corrective amendment to 58 Pa. Code § 139.16 is effective as of May 15, 1999, the date the defective official text appeared in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
The correct version of 58 Pa. Code § 139.16(a)(1) and (4) appears in Annex A, with ellipses referring to the existing text of the regulation.
