The bill, S. 487, is a joint resolution that seeks to approve regulations proposed by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources concerning deer processors and the recovery of processing fees for donated deer. Specifically, it addresses the processing of legally taken female (doe) deer that are donated by hunters or individuals with deer depredation permits. The new regulation, designated as Regulation Document Number 5330, allows deer processors to recover processing fees from individuals other than the original donor of the deer, thereby establishing guidelines for fee recovery and reporting.

The resolution confirms the approval of these regulations as necessary to implement existing state law, specifically SC Code of Laws 50-11-1910(B). The regulations outline the conditions under which deer processors can obtain permits for processing donated deer and detail the procedures for reporting fee recoveries. The bill will take effect upon receiving approval from the Governor.
