A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 48-01.2-01 and subsection 1 of section 48-01.2-02.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the threshold for procuring plans, drawings, and specifications from an architect or engineer for construction of a public improvement.

HB 1121 would have changed the spending limit requiring North Dakota state or local government agencies to hire licensed architects or engineers to provide plans for public construction projects (like schools or roads). It aimed to amend specific sections of the state code to adjust the dollar amount trigger for this requirement. The bill failed to pass in January 2025, with only 3 votes in favor out of 93 total votes.
