An initial applicant for a guide or outfitter license shall
				  submit a completed application on a form provided by the department and the
				  fees required under North Dakota Century Code section 20.1-03-36.1. Information
				  requested on the form must be completed and signed by the applicant. Providing
				  false or misleading information requested on the application may be grounds to
				  deny the issuance of a license for the calendar year of the application. The
				  applicant shall also provide:
1. If
				the applicant is applying for a hunting guide or hunting outfitter license,
				proof the applicant is currently certified in adult cardiopulmonary
				resuscitation or its equivalent and in standard or first aid or its equivalent.
				A photocopy of certification will be sufficient proof of training.
2. If the applicant is applying for a hunting
				outfitter license, proof that the applicant has held a hunting guide license in
				North Dakota or any other state for two years. Such proof shall be in the form
				of information generated by the state of licensure.
3. A signed certification on a form provided
				by the department that the applicant has not been convicted of a state or
				federal criminal game or fish violation in the last three years from the date
				of the application or whose license to hunt or fish is under suspension or
				revocation in North Dakota or any other state.
4. A statement in an application for a
				hunting guide license listing the dates the applicant has legally hunted in
				North Dakota for three years before the date of the application. The department
				may require the applicant to explain how three years of practical field
				experience gained by hunting have directly contributed to the applicant's
				experience and competency as a guide and how the three years have influenced
				the applicant's capability to perform essential duties associated with guiding
				and outfitting as defined in North Dakota Century Code section 20.1-01-02. The
				director reserves the right to request additional information to supplement the
				applicant's submission.
5. Proof
				of insurance shall be in the form of a certificate of liability insurance from
				the insuring entity certifying that the applicant and the applicant's business
				operation are covered by general liability insurance against loss or expense
				due to accident or injury from outfitting services, at a minimum of one hundred
				thousand dollars per individual and three hundred thousand dollars per
				accident.
6. An applicant for a
				hunting outfitter license must include a listing of all land to be used by the
				outfitter to provide services. Acreage reports shall include the name of the
				landowner and lessor, the number of acres of land, and the location of the land
				by county.
7. An applicant for a
				hunting guide license must include a written notice from an employing or
				contracting licensed outfitter that the applicant will be retained to provide
				guiding services during the term of the applicant's license period. A licensed
				hunting guide may provide services to more than one hunting outfitter, but
				shall provide written notice from each outfitter to the department.
