Veterans

House Bill 1169 proposes to create a new section within chapter 37-14 of the North Dakota Century Code. This legislation focuses on establishing rules related to compensation for veterans' benefits. The bill also includes a provision for a penalty. However, the provided information does not specify the exact mechanisms for compensation, who is directly affected beyond veterans, or the details of the penalty.

SB 2199 would create a new rule in North Dakota law allowing disabled veterans with a 100% service-connected disability (verified by the Department of Veterans' Affairs) to receive a deer hunting license automatically. The bill directly affects qualifying disabled veterans by removing them from the standard lottery system for deer licenses. Under this proposed change, these veterans would be entitled to a license without competing in the annual drawing, streamlining access to hunting opportunities. This is a specific policy change to license eligibility, not a broader hunting regulation.
