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 providing a structured approach to managing these transactions.

The resolution outlines the necessary guidelines for deer processors to obtain permits for processing donated doe deer and includes provisions for reporting fee recoveries. This regulatory change is intended to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of deer processing in South Carolina while ensuring compliance with existing laws. The resolution will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
