Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 29.1-300.2 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 29.1-300.2. Hunter education program.
The Department shall provide for a course of instruction in hunter safety, principles of conservation, and sportsmanship, and for this purpose may cooperate with any reputable association or organization having as one of its objectives the promotion of hunter safety, principles of conservation, and sportsmanship.
The Board shall establish six full-time hunter education
coordinator positions. Each coordinator will be assigned to a conservation
police officer district and have the responsibility for providing hunter
education training in that district. The Board shall establish at least
one full-time hunter education coordinator position for each of the
Department's administrative regions. Each coordinator will be assigned to a
conservation police officer district and have the responsibility for providing hunter
education training in the district.
The Department may designate as a hunter safety instructor any person found by it to be competent to give instruction in the courses required by this article. A person so appointed shall give such course of instruction, and, upon completion thereof, shall issue to the person instructed a certificate of competency as provided by the Board in hunter safety, principles of conservation, and sportsmanship.
The Board shall prescribe a minimum level of skill and knowledge to be required of all hunter safety instructors, and may limit the number of students per instructor in all required classes.
The Board may revoke the certificate of any instructor when, in the opinion of the Board, it is in the best interest of the Commonwealth to do so.
The Board shall promulgate rules and regulations in order to
administer and enforce the provisions of §§ 29.1-300.1 through,
29.1-300.2, and 29.1-300.3.
