Vermont § 4191 - Game wardens, number, record

§ 4191. Game wardens, number, record

• (a) The Commissioner, with the approval of the Governor, may employ a chief game warden
  and as many State game wardens as may be required for the proper enforcement of the
  fish and wildlife laws of the State. These officers shall be included in the classified
  service created in 3 V.S.A. chapter 13. These officers and deputy game wardens employed
  as herein provided shall be sworn to the faithful performance of their duties. The
  Commissioner may appoint and employ for a limited time as many deputy game wardens
  as deemed necessary. The number of game wardens shall be determined by the Commissioner
  with the approval of the Governor. A copy of the appointment and oath of office of
  each game warden and deputy shall be filed in the office of the Commissioner. (b) While so employed, game wardens shall devote their entire time to the discharge of
  their duties and shall not be engaged in any other business without having first obtained
  permission to do so from the Commissioner. The Commissioner may grant permission
  if it appears that the outside employment will not render the warden unavailable during
  an emergency, will not physically or mentally exhaust the warden to the point that
  performance of duties might be affected, and will not require that any special consideration
  be given to scheduling of regular duty hours. (Added 1961, No. 119, § 1, eff. May 9, 1961; amended 1985, No. 101 (Adj. Sess.); 1991, No. 230 (Adj. Sess.), § 18.)
