Lawmakers seek transparency with PA wildlife agency meeting videos

[DaveKile]

Legislators want to require the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) and the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) to livestream and preserve the recordings of their board meetings for future public use.

Key points

• The Pennsylvania Game Commission already livestreams and saves its meetings, supporting the proposed bill for transparency.
• The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission livestreams meetings but does not save the videos, citing legal counsel recommendations.
• The bill, sponsored by Rep. Jim Haddock, aims to ensure all sportsmen and sportswomen have easy access to the commissions' proceedings.
