Wildlife Legislation
Legislative Sportsman's Caucus Meetings
DGIF attends the Legislative Sportsman's Caucus with legislators from both houses and political parties every Thursday morning at 7:00 AM in the Speaker's Conference Room (Floor 6 of the General Assembly Building). In order to improve the transparency of government, we share their schedule of meetings and the current agenda items with you in case you wish to attend. We do not host these meetings and ask that you direct any questions regarding this meeting to Andrew Clark of Delegate Lingamfelter's office (view contact information).
