Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

Flat $18 license fee for motorized canoes

A motorized canoe costs $18 to license in North Dakota, regardless of its length. This lowers license costs for motorized canoes that previously fell into higher length-based fee tiers.

Lower outdoor license fees for disabled veterans

North Dakota resident veterans with at least a 50% service-connected disability qualify for a $5 fishing license. Fishing eligibility also includes an extra-schedular rating covering individual unemployability that brings the total disability rating to at least 50%. Resident veterans with at least a 50% service-connected disability also qualify for a $3 combined hunting license. It covers general game, a habitat stamp, small game, and fur-bearers. The Department of Veterans’ Affairs determines qualifying disability ratings.
