The text of a proposed North Dakota ballot initiative to restrict hunting preserves:
___
Section 1. A new section to chapter 36-01 of the North Dakota Century Code is created and enacted as follows:
Fee killing of certain captive game animals prohibited - Penalty - Exception. A person is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor if the person obtains fees or other renumeration from another person for the killing or attempted killing of privately owned big game species or exotic mammals confined in or released from any man-made enclosure designed to prevent escape. This section does not apply to actions of a government employee or agent to control an animal population, to prevent or control diseases, or when government action is otherwise required or authorized by law.
Section 2. Effective date. If approved by the voters, this measure becomes effective on Nov. 1, 2010.
