This bill amends the North Dakota Century Code to clarify how county superintendents of schools must preserve and transfer official records and property. The changes fix garbled text in the original version to ensure clear legal language about what must be kept and how it must be handed over when a superintendent leaves their position.
Scope change
The scope remains focused on county superintendents of schools, but the language is now clearer about what constitutes official records and property that must be preserved.
REQUIREMENT

Corrected garbled text in the original bill to clearly state that county superintendents must preserve all property acquired in an official capacity with educational value or records of official acts, and deliver these to their successor upon leaving office.
