This bill protects taxidermists from warrantless searches by requiring Game, Fish and Parks officials to either get the business owner's permission or have a valid legal reason (like an emergency) before searching their premises. Previously, the law allowed inspections without restriction; now officials can only inspect written records during normal business hours without a warrant, and any physical search of the business requires consent or exigent circumstances. The bill maintains record-keeping requirements for taxidermists to track specimens they receive and return.
