S 469 South Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A JOINT RESOLUTION TO APPROVE REGULATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, RELATING TO ELECTRONIC HARVEST REPORTING OF BIG GAME - SC GAME CHECK, DESIGNATED AS

This bill approves South Carolina's Department of Natural Resources regulations requiring hunters to submit electronic harvest reports for big game (deer, turkey, and black bear) through the "SC Game Check" system. It directly affects hunters who must use this online platform to report their harvests instead of paper forms. The regulation implements a 2024 law change that made electronic reporting mandatory for all big game species, specifying required reporting details like location and date. The bill does not create new law but formally adopts the DNR's approved reporting rules.
