ARM 12.11.6710 establishes a Madison River Work Group (work group) with the charge to make recommendations on the Madison River recreation management rules to the commission.  At a work group meeting on September 22, 2021, the work group unanimously decided to recommend the commission repeal ARM 12.11.6702 and 12.11.6706.  The work group's rationale for the recommended repeal is due to lack of support for either rule.  At its October 28, 2021, meeting, the commission voted to propose the repeal of the rules based off of the work group's recommendation.
