SB 2107 North Dakota Senate · 69th Legislative Assembly (2025-26)

AN ACT to amend and reenact subsection 11 of section 50-11.1-03 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to early childhood services training for licensure; and to provide an effective date.

SB 2107 amends North Dakota's licensing requirements for early childhood service providers by changing the training standards they must complete. It specifically updates subsection 11 of section 50-11.1-03 in the Century Code to modify the training content needed for licensure. This change directly affects childcare professionals, centers, and early education providers seeking or renewing their state licenses. The bill, now law after being signed by the Governor on March 25, 2025, implements these updated training requirements for early childhood service licensure.

MINOR
This bill amends the North Dakota Century Code to clarify that training hours completed after submitting application fees count toward the next year's licensing requirements for early childhood services. It also updates the bill's effective date to January 1, 2026, and changes the bill's status from an engrossed version to its enrolled final version after passing both legislative chambers and awaiting gubernatorial approval.
Scope change
The substantive scope of the law remains unchanged; the bill text itself is identical between versions, with only formatting, status labels, and certification information updated to reflect its progression through the legislative process.
TIMELINE

The effective date for the training credit provision is set to January 1, 2026, ensuring the rule applies to the upcoming licensing cycle.
