SB75Vetoed
provide for a habitat stamp on hunting and fishing licenses.
South Dakota hunters and fishermen aged 18 and older would be required to purchase a $10 habitat stamp (or $25 for nonresidents) when getting a hunting or fishing license, with exemptions for one-day licenses, youth licenses, and landowner licenses. The stamp revenue would be dedicated to improving wildlife habitat and public access on public lands and waters, with fishing-only stamp fees going exclusively to aquatic projects and hunting-only fees going to terrestrial habitat programs. Violating the habitat stamp requirement would be a Class 2 misdemeanor.
