Bill Summary

A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new subsection to section 20.1-03-11 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to disabled veteran deer hunting licenses.

AI Summary

This bill amends North Dakota hunting regulations to provide a special benefit for disabled veterans with 100% service-connected disabilities. Specifically, the bill creates a new provision that allows these veterans to receive one bonus point annually when applying for a deer hunting license through a lottery system. These bonus points are additional to any other points already awarded by the department and will be reset after the veteran successfully receives a deer hunting license through the lottery. This provision aims to provide an extra opportunity for disabled veterans to obtain a deer hunting license, acknowledging their service and potential challenges they may face. The term "service-connected disability" refers to a disability that resulted from injury or illness incurred or aggravated during military service, and in this case, the veteran must have a 100% disability rating as determined by the Department of Veterans' Affairs.
