Case Notes



 



  Section 183D-10.5 and this section provided the authority for
the department of land and natural resources to require payment of a fee for a
hunting-related article such as a stamp; however, since game bird hunting was
an activity permitted under this chapter, the department was required under
§183D-3 to adopt a rule pursuant to §91-3 when setting the stamp fees for
hunting.  117 H. 16 (App.), 175 P.3d 126.
