150.425. Bounty on beaver.

(1) Upon adoption of a resolution by the fiscal court that beaver exist
within the county in such quantities that they present a threat to
the preservation of farmland, trees, and other property, the fiscal
court may request the department to pay a bounty on beaver. Upon
receipt of the resolution, a bounty on beaver of ten dollars ($10)
for each beaver shall be paid in the following manner. Upon the
presentation of the tail of any beaver, any conservation officer of
the department shall issue a receipt, in the form as prescribed by
the commission, to the person presenting the tail. The department
shall redeem the receipts by paying to such person the sum of ten
dollars ($10) for each receipt as bounty. The redemption of receipts
shall be paid only from funds especially appropriated for this
purpose and it is expressly provided that no bounty shall be paid
from any regular receipts, funds, or appropriations of the
department. However, the department may charge a maximum of one
dollar ($1) against the appropriation for bounties for each bounty
paid as reimbursement for the expense of administering the bounty
program.

(2) No bounty shall be paid when funds, personnel, or equipment of any
governmental unit are used in capturing and killing beaver.

(3) Upon receipt of an adopted resolution from a fiscal court stating
that beaver no longer present a threat to property within the
county, the department shall cease paying the bounty.

(Enact. Acts 1978, ch. 264, § 1, effective June 17, 1978.)
