GAME COMMISSION [58 PA. CODE CH. 147] Corrective Amendment to 58 Pa. Code § 147.553(1)-- (3) The Game Commission has discovered a discrepancy between the agency text of 58 Pa. Code § 147.553 (relating to permit), as deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau and the official text as published at 30 Pa.B. 767 (February 12, 2000), and published in the Pennsylvania Code Reporter (Master Transmittal Sheet No. 305) and as currently appearing in the Pennsylvania Code. Paragraphs (1)--(3) were inadvertently dropped.
Therefore, under 45 Pa.C.S. § 901: the Game Commission has deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau a corrective amendment to 58 Pa. Code § 147.553(1)--(3). The corrective amendment to 58 Pa. Code § 147.553(1)--(3) is effective as of February 12, 2000, the date the defective text was printed in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
The correct version of 58 Pa. Code § 147.553 appears in Annex A.
(Editor's Note: For a proposed rulemaking concerning § 147.553(1), see 31 Pa.B. 2806 (June 2, 2001).)
