A BILL

TO AMEND SECTION 50-9-10, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE ISSUANCE OF HUNTING AND FISHING LICENSES, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT A PERSON OR HIS IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO OBTAIN A HUNTING LICENSE TO HUNT ON PROPERTY THAT CONTAINS THEIR PRIMARY RESIDENCE.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION    1.    Section 50-9-10 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

"Section 50-9-10.    (A)    It is unlawful to hunt, fish, or take fish or wildlife without obtaining a license and applicable permits, tags, or stamps which allow these activities. A person convicted of violating this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, must be fined not less than fifty nor more than five hundred dollars or imprisoned not more than thirty days.

(B)    Notwithstanding another provision of law to the contrary, the provision that requires a person to obtain a hunting license does not apply to a person who hunts on property that contains his primary residence or to his immediate family members who also claim the property as their primary residence."

SECTION    2.    This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.

----XX----
