Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend and reenact sections 20.1-03-12 and 20.1-03-36.1, subsection 7 of section 20.1-03-37, subsection 4 of section 20.1-03-38, and section 20.1-04-12.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to hunting, fishing, and gun dog activity fees and hunting guide and outfitter licensing requirements.

AI Summary

This bill increases various hunting, fishing, and wildlife-related license and permit fees across multiple categories in North Dakota. Specifically, the bill raises fees for resident and nonresident licenses including small game hunting, big game hunting, fishing, fur-bearer, taxidermy, paddlefish tags, live bait sales, boat registrations, and various specialized permits. The bill also modifies licensing requirements for hunting guides and outfitters by increasing their annual license fees, changing the experience requirements for obtaining a guide license, and adjusting the examination process for guide and outfitter proficiency. Additionally, the bill updates gun dog activity permit fees, increasing costs for both resident and nonresident professional and amateur trainers who bring multiple dogs into the state for training or field trials. These fee increases appear to be aimed at generating more revenue for the state's game and fish fund while also potentially improving the quality and oversight of hunting and fishing-related activities in North Dakota.
