HB1215Dead
Provide rulemaking authority for the licensure of fishing guides, hunting guides, and outfitters, and to provide a penalty.
South Dakota's Game, Fish and Parks Commission will now have the authority to create licensing rules for fishing guides, hunting guides, and outfitters. The rules must cover eligibility requirements (including residency), license fees, liability insurance, inspection procedures, and grounds for denying or revoking licenses. This establishes a new regulatory framework where the commission sets the specific standards these professionals must meet to operate legally in the state.
