The bill amends section 27-11-17 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to the fees required for applicants seeking admission to the state bar. The key change involves the adjustment of the fee structure: the maximum fee for applicants who take the bar examination has been increased from one hundred dollars to
two hundred dollars. Additionally, the fee for applicants seeking admission by motion remains capped at four hundred dollars, as previously established.
This legislative change aims to update the fee amounts to better reflect current economic conditions and the costs associated with the bar admission process. All fees collected will continue to be managed in accordance with existing financial regulations outlined in section 54-44-12.
