A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 20.1-01-21 of the North Dakota Century Code; relating to hunting near buildings, occupied structures, or storage structures.

SB 2168 amends North Dakota law to clarify that hunting within 402 meters (440 yards) of any occupied building, occupied structure, or storage structure without the property owner's consent is unlawful. The bill directly affects hunters who may operate near residential or commercial properties, requiring them to obtain permission before hunting in this buffer zone. Key provisions specify the 402-meter distance limit and mandate written consent from the property owner for hunting activity within that range. This update refines existing regulations to explicitly include storage structures in the restricted area.
