The proposed bill mandates that individuals providing fishing guide services in South Dakota must register annually with the Department of Game, Fish and Parks. It establishes that unregistered individuals offering these services will be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor, with each instance of providing services to a client considered a separate offense. To register, individuals must be at least 21 years old, pay a registration fee of $50 for residents or $250 for non-residents, and agree to submit a report detailing their guided trips. The registration is valid until March 31 of each year, and all fees collected will support fish restocking efforts.

Additionally, registered fishing guides are required to submit electronic reports after each guided trip, including specific details such as the date, guide's name and registration number, participant information, body of water, and fish taken. The Game, Fish and Parks Commission is granted the authority to deny registration applications or suspend registrations based on misrepresentation of information or failure to provide the required daily reports. This bill aims to enhance regulation and accountability within the fishing guide industry in South Dakota.
