The sheriffs of this state may be designated as special agents to sell boat licenses as provided for herein. The Commissioner of Conservation and Natural Resources is authorized to appoint other special agents to sell boat licenses as provided for herein; provided, however, that the Commissioner of Conservation and Natural Resources may not appoint any special agent until the agent is bonded for not less than five thousand dollars ($5,000). Such agents shall receive licenses from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources in the same manner as the probate judges and license commissioners and shall make such reports and be subject to such audits as the Commissioner of Conservation and Natural Resources may specify. Special agents so appointed shall make returns to the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources in the same manner as probate judges and license commissioners. The Commissioner of Conservation and Natural Resources is further authorized to cancel such special agents' authority to sell licenses at any time he or she may so desire. Special agents shall be entitled to an issuance fee of two dollars ($2). Any special agent selling licenses in excess of the cost of licenses as herein specified shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not more than one hundred dollars ($100).
