Possible Hike in Boating Registration Fees

The North Dakota Legislature will look at a bill this session that would raise hunting and fishing licenses as well as boating registration fees. The measure H.B. 1130, seeks to help grow the game and fish department funds as recent flooding and decreased wildlife populations have reduced the number of licenses sold.
