17-333.01. State waterfowl stamp

A. It is unlawful for a person sixteen years of age or older to take or possess a duck, goose or swan in the field unless the person has in his possession a current valid state waterfowl stamp. Except as provided by rule adopted by the commission, a stamp is validated by the licensee's signature written in ink across its face. The commission shall issue state waterfowl stamps annually and prescribe the valid date.

B. The commission shall prescribe the form of the waterfowl stamps and furnish them to dealers to issue in the same manner as other stamps, tags and licenses and for the fee prescribed pursuant to section 17-333.

C. The commission may contract for the design and production of waterfowl stamps and artwork with any person or entity on terms which, in its judgment, will produce an original and valuable work of art. The production and reproduction of the original work of art are exempt from the requirements of title 41, chapter 23. The commission shall own and control all property rights and reproduction rights in works of art acquired under this section. The commission may sell or distribute the artwork and surplus stamps on such terms and for such price as it deems acceptable.
