The bill amends South Carolina law to establish a framework for managing nuisance alligators. It defines "nuisance alligator" as an alligator posing a threat to human life or property. The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources must receive and investigate complaints about nuisance alligators, and approve their removal by designated hunters. Hunters must have a depredation permit and follow specific procedures, including relocating alligators to approved areas or euthanizing them if relocation is not feasible.
