HB 1462 North Dakota House · 69th Legislative Assembly (2025-26)

A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 20.1-03-04 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to when licenses to hunt, fish, or trap are not required of landowners.

HB 1462 would have amended North Dakota law to expand exemptions from hunting, fishing, and trapping license requirements. It would have allowed landowners and their families to hunt, fish, or trap on their own land without a license, permitted youth under 16 to fish without a license, and extended fishing exemptions to certain institutions like schools and hospitals. The bill also included provisions for military personnel on leave and governor-declared free fishing days. However, the bill was withdrawn from consideration before moving forward in the legislative process.
