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, which is designed to improve access to private lands for sportsmen.

The legal language changes include the insertion of the term "donation" in place of "refund fee," and the addition of the word "unsuccessful" to clarify that only those who do not win the lottery can make this donation. Additionally, the bill removes the previous phrasing that indicated an unsuccessful applicant would be entitled to a refund. All funds collected through this donation option will be directed to the game and fish private land habitat and access improvement fund, supporting the private land open to sportsmen program.
