Bill > SB54

This bill updates the residency requirements for obtaining hunting and fishing licenses in South Dakota. The key provisions are: 1. It defines a "resident" as a person who has had a domicile in South Dakota for at least 90 consecutive days prior to applying for a license, does not claim residency in any other state or country, and has transferred their driver's license and vehicle registration to South Dakota. 2. It specifies that a person is deemed to have terminated their South Dakota residency if they apply for a resident license in another state, register to vote in another state, accept a driver's license from another state, move their domicile to another state, or reside outside of South Dakota for 180 or more days in a calendar year. 3. However, it allows someone who has lawfully acquired a South Dakota resident license to continue to use that license until it expires, even if they subsequently establish residency elsewhere, as long as their privileges are not revoked or suspended.
