take any upland game bird within the state without first procuring
an upland conservation stamp for a small annual fee; and

could be used for the development of upland game bird propagation
while also improving public upland game bird areas within the
state; therefore be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to conduct a study to determine whether an upland
gamebird conservation stamp for hunters should be required; and be
it
Further resolved, That the proceeds from the issuance of such
stamps are used to increase the upland game bird population in the
state while also providing for the improvement of public lands; and
be it
Further resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct the
study and to prepare reports, recommendations and proposed
legislation be paid from the legislative appropriations to the
Joint Committee on Government and Finance.
