HB 1398 North Dakota House · 69th Legislative Assembly (2025-26)

AN ACT to amend and reenact section 26.1-03-10 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the publication of an abstract of annual statement.

HB 1398 amends a section of North Dakota's Century Code to update the procedural requirements for publishing an abstract of an annual statement. This procedural change affects entities required to submit annual statements (such as state agencies or regulated organizations), altering how their abstracts must be published. The bill does not change the content of the annual statements themselves but revises the publication process for compliance. It is a technical update to administrative procedures, not a substantive policy change.
