A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 11-11-37 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the publication of proceedings of a board of county commissioners.

HB 1380 requires North Dakota county commissioners to publish full meeting records in the county's official newspaper or on the county's official website within seven days after each meeting. This applies directly to all county boards of commissioners and their designated newspaper publishers. The bill updates Section 11-11-37 of the North Dakota Century Code to mandate this timeline and specifies that newspaper publishers must file an affidavit of publication with the county auditor. (Note: The bill failed to pass on January 27, 2025, but this summary describes its intended provisions only.)
