The bill amends subsection 1 of section 20.1-03-11 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to youth deer hunting permits. It establishes that individuals aged eleven to thirteen, whose birthdays fall within the same year as the youth deer hunting season, are entitled to receive either a statewide white-tailed antlerless deer permit or an antlerless deer permit as determined by the governor's proclamation. The previous language that stated "a" has been deleted and replaced with "A" and "An" to clarify the types of permits available.

Additionally, the bill specifies that individuals hunting under these provisions must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or another authorized individual, with "accompanied" defined as maintaining uninterrupted visual contact and unaided verbal communication. This amendment aims to ensure safety and oversight for young hunters while providing them with opportunities to participate in deer hunting.
