This bill stops South Dakota from paying bounties to people who kill badgers, opossums, raccoons, skunks, foxes, and similar animals for the purpose of controlling nest predation (protecting bird nests). The ban applies to both the Department of Game, Fish and Parks' general fund and the state animal damage control fund, preventing either from being used for these specific bounty payments.
