About Boards Support

Purpose of Boards Support

The Boards Support Section ensures the public process for the state’s regulatory systems relating to fish and wildlife resources operates efficiently and effectively. Our primary responsibility is to provide support for this public process, and ensure that the system is legal, timely, and accessible to the citizens of the state.
