The permit allows another person to assist the permitted individual while fishing, in accordance with existing regulations, and without the need to possess a valid fishing license. A disabled angler assistance permit may be issued on either a temporary or permanent basis, dependent on the type of disability, at the discretion of the department.</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s6d3b742a-047d-4483-b54c-18661dcdf198P0"><span xml:space="preserve" class="s6d3b742a-047d-4483-b54c-18661dcdf198000001"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s6d3b742a-047d-4483-b54c-18661dcdf198P0"><span xml:space="preserve" class="s6d3b742a-047d-4483-b54c-18661dcdf198C0">    </span><span class="s6d3b742a-047d-4483-b54c-18661dcdf198C0-000000">Source:</span><span xml:space="preserve" class="s6d3b742a-047d-4483-b54c-18661dcdf198C0"> </span><span class="s6d3b742a-047d-4483-b54c-18661dcdf198C0">49 SDR 46, effective November 21, 2022</span><span class="s6d3b742a-047d-4483-b54c-18661dcdf198C0">.</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s6d3b742a-047d-4483-b54c-18661dcdf198P0"><span xml:space="preserve" class="s6d3b742a-047d-4483-b54c-18661dcdf198C0">    </span><span class="s6d3b742a-047d-4483-b54c-18661dcdf198C0-000000">General Authority:</span><span xml:space="preserve" class="s6d3b742a-047d-4483-b54c-18661dcdf198C0"> SDCL </span><a href="https://sdlegislature.gov/Statutes?Statute=41-2-18"><span class="s6d3b742a-047d-4483-b54c-18661dcdf198C0-000002">41-2-18</span></a><span class="s6d3b742a-047d-4483-b54c-18661dcdf198C0">(2)(13).</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s6d3b742a-047d-4483-b54c-18661dcdf198P0"><span xml:space="preserve" class="s6d3b742a-047d-4483-b54c-18661dcdf198C0">    </span><span class="s6d3b742a-047d-4483-b54c-18661dcdf198C0-000000">Law Implemented:</span><span xml:space="preserve" class="s6d3b742a-047d-4483-b54c-18661dcdf198C0"> SDCL </span><a href="https://sdlegislature.gov/Statutes?Statute=41-2-18"><span class="s6d3b742a-047d-4483-b54c-18661dcdf198C0-000002">41-2-18</span></a><span class="s6d3b742a-047d-4483-b54c-18661dcdf198C0">(2)(13).</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s6d3b742a-047d-4483-b54c-18661dcdf198P0"><span xml:space="preserve" class="s6d3b742a-047d-4483-b54c-18661dcdf198000001"> </span></p></div></body></html>
