This bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 20.1-02 of the North Dakota Century Code, focusing on educational and community outreach programs established by the game and fish department. The new legal language allows the department to develop programs aimed at enhancing public understanding of fisheries and wildlife management, as well as fostering interest in careers related to these fields.
Additionally, the bill grants the director of the department the authority to establish specific programs and determine eligibility for participation. This includes opportunities for individuals to engage directly in job shadowing and ride-along experiences with department field activities, thereby providing practical exposure to the work conducted by the game and fish department.
