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 legislation increases the maximum fee for applicants who submit to examination from one hundred dollars to two hundred dollars. Additionally, it maintains the maximum fee for applicants seeking admission by motion at four hundred dollars, which is determined by the state board of law examiners with the approval of the supreme court. All fees collected from applicants will continue to be deposited and disbursed in accordance with section 54-44-12 of the North Dakota Century Code. The bill reflects a legislative effort to adjust the financial requirements for bar admission in response to changing circumstances, while ensuring that the fees are managed appropriately.
