The bill amends section 20.1-02-17 of the North Dakota Century Code to clarify the use of hunting and fishing license fees and application fees. It asserts North Dakota's agreement to federal aid projects related to wildlife and fish restoration, allowing the director to establish cooperative projects in compliance with federal regulations.

Additionally, the bill specifies that hunting and fishing license fees and application fees can only be used for departmental programs and administration, explicitly excluding any use related to chronic wasting disease. This change emphasizes the intended allocation of funds to support wildlife management efforts while ensuring that resources are not diverted to address chronic wasting disease.
