This bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 20.1-02 of the North Dakota Century Code, focusing on the establishment of educational and community outreach programs by the game and fish department. The intent of these programs is to enhance public understanding of fisheries and wildlife management while also fostering interest in careers related to the department's work.
The bill grants the department the authority to develop these outreach initiatives and to set eligibility criteria for participation. This includes opportunities for individuals to engage directly in job shadowing and ride-along experiences with department field activities, thereby providing practical insights into the profession and its responsibilities.
