Bill > HB1260

This bill amends a provision of North Dakota hunting regulations regarding nonresident deer bow licenses by changing the language from "immediately preceding" to "current" year when determining the allocation of mule deer licenses. Specifically, the bill ensures that 15% of the total mule deer licenses available for the regular gun season must be reserved for nonresidents hunting with bow and arrow. This change appears to provide more immediate and flexible licensing considerations, potentially making it easier for nonresident hunters to obtain bow hunting licenses for mule deer in the same year rather than being constrained by the previous year's license allocations. The modification is a relatively minor technical adjustment to the existing hunting license regulations that could slightly improve access for nonresident bow hunters in North Dakota.
