A bill expanding access to special allocation hunting tags is now headed to the governor’s desk after passing the North Dakota Senate with strong support. House Bill 1094 would allow veterans organizations to join charitable nonprofits in using these tags for fundraising, provided they donate a portion of proceeds to conservation. The bill also raises that donation requirement from 10% to 20%. Supporters say it’s a way to honor veterans while increasing support for wildlife and habitat efforts across the state. Grant Coursey with the Bismarck Tribune has the full story; bill details can be found below.
