Bill > HB1188

This bill allows nonresident military members who are on active duty to purchase a special three-day temporary waterfowl hunting license in South Dakota. Specifically, these service members can buy one annual three-day license that is only valid on private land, and they must meet certain requirements: they must present a valid military ID, obtain a federal migratory bird stamp, and secure a migratory bird certification permit. The Department of Game, Fish and Parks will limit the total number of these special licenses to 100 per year, and this limit will be separate from other existing license restrictions. This provision aims to provide active-duty military personnel who are not South Dakota residents with an opportunity to hunt waterfowl during their limited time in the state, recognizing their service by offering them a hunting opportunity they might not otherwise have.
