§ 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.
