VENDORS. The director shall distribute such computerized licensing equipment
and supplies to any person he may select as a license vendor for the purpose
of license sale, issuance and distribution. All resident licenses shall be
issued only within the state of Idaho. All computerized licensing equipment
and unused supplies shall remain the property of the department. License
vendors shall be responsible for all sums received by them from the sale of
such licenses less the authorized vendor fee as provided for in section
36-306, Idaho Code, and shall be liable upon their official bonds, if any, and
should any person fail to account for the same, any sum remaining due by
reason of such failure may be recovered from such person or his bondsman in a
civil action. Provided, that any and all license vendors, other than employees
of the department of fish and game of the state of Idaho, may be required to
furnish to the director, before entering upon the sale of said licenses, a
good and sufficient surety bond to the state of Idaho in an amount designated
by the director. Provided further that when a surety bond is furnished by a
surety company authorized to do business in the state of Idaho, said bond
shall be approved and accepted by the director and filed in the state office
of the department of fish and game. All bonds executed by any person required
to furnish the same shall cover a period of two (2) years and said bond shall
be in a form prescribed by said director.
    The director may at his discretion furnish a scheduled bond sufficient to
cover the amount designated by the director. All or any part of said bond may
be paid for out of the fish and game account and shall be in lieu of any other
bond requirement for the sale of licenses.
    Any bond given in accordance with this section of the statute is declared
to be an official bond of the state of Idaho.
    Provided further that no person except an employee of the department shall
be authorized to issue and sell such licenses until any required bond as
hereinbefore provided for shall have been properly signed, approved and filed
with the director. All moneys collected by any person for the sale of such
licenses in the state of Idaho, with the exception of the vendor fee to be
retained by them, shall be and remain the property of the department. Any
person appropriating any of said funds of the department of fish and game for
his own use shall be guilty of a felony.
