Policies and Resolutions

​​​​​​​​​​​​Parks and Wildlife Commission policies serve as general rules and statements of principle that provide guidance to the Commission and the Division. These policies focus on fundamental issues that exist year after year. Once a policy has been established by the Commission the Division focuses on the actual implementation.

Commission resolutions are formal statements adopted on an as needed basis to reflect the opinion, will or intent of the Commission on a specific issue.
