Monday night’s Bismarck meeting also was live-streamed on the Game and Fish website for anyone wanting to attend virtually.
Among the session highlights from a Game and Fish perspective was HB 1017, the department’s budget bill, which appropriates just over $92 million to the department for the biennium beginning July 1. Gov. Doug Burgum signed the bill last week, Steinwand said.
Another significant piece of legislation signed into law was SB 2144, which gives landowners the option of posting their land through an electronic database. Land posted electronically will be listed on the Game and Fish website, Steinwand said, or via a downloadable app, making it easier for hunters to see whether land is open to hunting.
