Introduced Text

Requires fishing guides in South Dakota to register annually with the Department of Game, Fish and Parks.

South Dakota SB160 mandates that individuals offering fishing guide services must register annually with the Department of Game, Fish and Parks. Failure to register results in a Class 1 misdemeanor. Each client serviced counts as a separate offense. The bill outlines a registration process, including a fee that is nonrefundable and used for fish restocking efforts. Registered guides must submit daily reports electronically to the department, detailing the date, guide's name and registration number, client information, body of water, and fish species and count.
