A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact sections 12-44.1-01, 12-47-18.1, 12-48.1-01, 12-48.1-02, 12-54.1-01, 12-54.1-03, 12.1-08-02, 12.1-17-01, 12.1-32-02.1, 12.1-32-09.1, and 39-10-71 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to transparent sentencing of criminal offenders, transfer of persons between correctional facilities, work release eligibility and conditions for criminal offenders, sentences for assaulting and fleeing from law enforcement officers, and sentences for preventing arrest; to provide a legislative management report; to provide a penalty; and to provide for application.

The definition of 'transitional facility' was expanded to explicitly list halfway houses, assessment centers, re-entry facilities, and transitional living facilities, and changed the security requirement from 'minimum security' to 'unsecured or minimum security'.

The legislative management report requirement was updated to explicitly include 'application' alongside the existing reporting duties.

Work release eligibility was modified to restrict participation to programs in facilities where the offender resides, rather than allowing placement in separate facilities outside the primary control area.

The bill was reengrossed, updating the bill number from 'Engrossed' to 'Reengrossed' and changing the section number from 25.8109.02000 to 25.8109.03000.
