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 amendment changes the maximum fee for applicants who submit to examination from one hundred dollars to
two hundred dollars. Additionally, it maintains the maximum fee of four hundred dollars for applicants seeking admission by motion, which is determined by the state board of law examiners with the approval of the supreme court.
The bill ensures that all fees collected from bar admission applicants are to be deposited and disbursed in accordance with existing financial regulations outlined in section 54-44-12. This legislative change aims to update the fee structure for bar admission in North Dakota, reflecting current economic conditions and the costs associated with the admission process.
