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 make a donation instead of receiving a refund for their license fee. The language changes include replacing "refund fee" with "donation" and specifying that the donation is an option for "unsuccessful" applicants.

Additionally, the bill removes the previous requirement that 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, which supports the private land open to sportsmen program. This amendment aims to enhance funding for programs that promote access to private lands for sportsmen.
