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 a stationary natural or artificial blind, or from a floating craft, with certain conditions. The bill introduces new provisions that allow floating crafts to be beached, fastened to a fixed hunting blind, or resting at anchor if authorized by the governor. Additionally, it permits the use of a motor on a craft only if the motor is turned off and the craft is at rest.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that individuals may not shoot from a motorboat, sailboat, or other craft except as outlined in the amended section. The use of artificial decoys is permitted, while the use of live decoys is prohibited. These changes aim to provide clearer guidelines for hunters while ensuring compliance with hunting regulations in North Dakota.
