Changes in Laws and Regulations
Some of the property-specific regulations could change due to the need for emergency regulations. Changes will be publicized in local newspapers and on the DNR web site at www.dnr.sc.gov/regs/changes.html as any new legislation is passed. Discrepancies between the book and any statute or regulation shall be governed by the statute or regulation. Errors occasionally appear in this book and news releases are published to clarify these situations. To research laws, visit http://www.scstatehouse.gov/coderegs/statmast.php.
Other information is published only in DNR news releases. This includes announcements relative to shrimp baiting, public hearings, fishing rodeos, DNR Board decisions and position statements, new legislation, youth activities, mobility impaired hunts, US Dept. of Agriculture cost-share programs, special drawing hunts, schedules for newly acquired areas and many other items of interest. DNR news releases are published weekly and distributed free to editors of all regional and local newspapers and are available to the public.
