In addition to the specific authority of the secretary of game, fish and parks to issue permits pursuant to § 41-6-29 the Game, Fish and Parks Commission may also, by resolution, authorize the secretary of game, fish and parks to issue a specific number of depredation permits to respond to property damage by game animals that cannot be resolved by any other method.

The secretary shall establish when and where each depredation permit is valid and the number of game animals that may be killed under each permit. The commission shall, by rules promulgated pursuant to chapter 1-26, establish the application procedures for the depredation permits, the procedures to be followed by the secretary in issuing the depredation permits to applicants, the fee for the permits, and the maximum number of depredation permits that may be issued each year.
Any person who violates the conditions of the permit is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.
