The members of the advisory committee who shall serve ex officio are the Speaker of the House of Representatives, President of the Senate, and the chair of the South Carolina Wildlife and Marine Resources Commission. The chairman of the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee and the chairman of the House Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Committee each shall appoint one member to the advisory committee.

In conducting its study and in developing the state plan, the commission may consult with the South Carolina Wildlife and Marine Resources Department, the South Carolina State Forestry Commission, and any other state or local private or public agency or organization interested in or impacted by recreational field trials.

By January 1, 1994, the commission shall submit its findings and state plan to the Governor, the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee, and the House Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Committee.
