Section 1. That chapter 41-6 be amended by adding thereto a NEW SECTION to read as follows:
The Game, Fish and Parks Commission shall promulgate rules pursuant to chapter 1-26 to
authorize the Department of Game, Fish and Parks to issue up to one thousand special
nonresident duck hunting licenses valid for use in Brule, Charles Mix, Douglas, Gregory, and
Lyman counties. The rules shall specify the form of the licenses issued and the license fee. A
special nonresident duck hunting license entitles to licensee to hunt ducks for ten consecutive
days. The special nonresident duck hunting license is valid during the same period as a resident
license authorizing the hunting of ducks. No waterfowl other than ducks may be hunted under
a special nonresident duck hunting license.
Section 2. That § 41-6-18.1 be amended to read as follows:
41-6-18.1. It is a Class 2 misdemeanor for a nonresident to hunt, take, or kill migratory
Section 2. That § 41-6-18.1 be amended to read as follows:
41-6-18.1. It is a Class 2 misdemeanor for a nonresident to hunt, take, or kill migratory
waterfowl without a special nonresident waterfowl license, a fall three-day temporary
nonresident waterfowl license, early fall Canada goose temporary nonresident license,
or
a
spring snow goose temporary nonresident license,
or a special nonresident duck hunting license,
a migratory bird certification permit, and a federal migratory bird stamp, or in violation of the
conditions of the licenses or the rules of the Game, Fish and Parks Commission.
A special nonresident waterfowl license, except as otherwise provided in this title, entitles
the licensee to hunt migratory waterfowl for ten consecutive days. Four dollars received from
the sale of each special nonresident waterfowl license shall be placed in the land acquisition and
development fund. The moneys from this fund shall be used to acquire by purchase or lease real
property to be used primarily for game production. This license shall be in such form as the
Game, Fish and Parks Commission shall prescribe.
The provision in this section limiting the validity of a special nonresident waterfowl license
to ten consecutive days does not apply in Union, Clay, Bon Homme, Yankton, and Charles Mix
counties; and in such counties, the special nonresident waterfowl license is valid during the
same period as is a resident waterfowl license.
The Game, Fish and Parks Commission may issue no more than four thousand special
nonresident waterfowl licenses in a calendar year.
