Last week the North Dakota House held a hearing on Senate Bill 2315. This posting or trespassing legislation would ensure private property rights and improve relations between landowners and hunters. State Farm Bureau Public Policy Director Pete Hanebutt says his group likes the measure as it passed the Senate.

He says the House then added several amendments that stripped many provisions out of the Senate Bill and sent it to a House-Senate conference committee.

Hanebutt says the all lands are posted provision needs to be left in the final bill to ensure private property rights and still give hunters an opportunity to hunt.

Hanebutt says they also support a provision to provide maps on apps to show which lands are posted forbidding hunting and which ones allow it.
