The bill amends section 20.1-04-11 of the North Dakota Century Code, which governs the use of blinds, boats, and decoys for hunting ducks and geese. It specifies that wild ducks and geese may be taken from various locations, including stationary natural or artificial blinds, and outlines the conditions under which floating crafts can be used. Notably, the bill introduces new provisions that allow floating crafts to be used if they are beached, fastened to a fixed hunting blind, resting at anchor with authorization, propelled without a motor, or at rest with the motor turned off.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that while artificial decoys can be used, live duck or goose decoys are prohibited. It also states that an individual may not shoot from a motorboat, sailboat, or other craft except under the conditions specified in the amended section. These changes aim to provide clearer guidelines for hunters while ensuring compliance with hunting regulations.
