Was read the second time.
The question being "Shall HB 1149 pass as amended?"
And the roll being called:
Yeas 32, Nays 0, Excused 3, Absent 0
This bill is stated as such: Section 1. That chapter 41-8 be amended by adding thereto a NEW SECTION to read as follows:
Any of two or more persons who mutually agree to hunt small game as a party and who maintain visual and unaided vocal contact may take more than one daily limit of small game. However, the total number of small game taken by the party may not exceed the aggregate daily limit for all members of the party who are licensed to take and possess small game. In accordance with SDCL 41-6-71, this section does not apply to any big game license or any tag issued as a part of a hunting license nor does this section apply to hunting of migratory birds. The provisions of this section do not apply to any person who hunts small game in more than one party in one day.
Section 2. That chapter 41-12 be amended by adding thereto a NEW SECTION to read as follows: Any of two or more persons who mutually agree to fish by angling as a party may take more than one daily limit of fish, however, the total number of fish taken by the party may not exceed the aggregate daily limit for all members of the party who are licensed to take and possess fish by angling. The provisions of this section do not apply to any person who fishes in more than one party in one day. For the purpose of this section, the term, party, means:
(1) For persons who are not on the water or those who are on frozen water surfaces, the persons are maintaining visual and unaided vocal contact; and
(2) For persons who are on open water surfaces, the persons are angling from a single watercraft.
