The bill amends section 20.1-03-11.4 of the North Dakota Century Code to introduce a new option for applicants of the deer lottery license. Specifically, it allows unsuccessful applicants to donate their refund license fee to the private land open to sportsmen program. This change aims to enhance funding for the program by providing an avenue for applicants to contribute directly from their refunds.

In the revised language, the term "refund fee" is replaced with "donation," and the phrase "which an unsuccessful applicant would be entitled to" is removed. The bill stipulates that all funds collected through this donation option will be deposited into the game and fish private land habitat and access improvement fund, ensuring that the money is allocated specifically to support the private land open to sportsmen program.
