Is it perfect, no. But the amended bill is not a complete disaster like the original. I was irritated on the amount of time it took for the final amended bill to be made public compared to the Senate vote, which was less than 2 hours I think? Barely enough time to digest legal lingo and make comments in time before the vote occurred. The amended bill passed by a wide margin, but this  is not over yet folks. Many of the supporters are NOT happy about the amended bill and are seeking to have revisions in the House. Just go and read the ND Stockmens Assc. Facebook page comments. Expect more revisions to be pushed forward for this bill, none of which are likely to benefit sportsmen/women/children or the landowners who are fine with the way things are. Part of me wants to reject the amended bill completely, but part of me also realizes this bill has gained way more momentum than it ever has. I am debating on my stance on the amended bill and how my comments will be directed when I contact House Reps. I personally think it is a decent compromise, but would like to see a study done before it becomes law. Just my opinion, please don’t rag on me for that.</blockquote>
