HB 1174 is a procedural bill that would create a new section in North Dakota's Century Code (Chapter 20.1-02) specifically for educational and community outreach programs run by the Game and Fish Department.

The abstract lacks sufficient detail to describe specific provisions or impacts.

HB 1401: AN ACT to amend and reenact section 40-11-04.2 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the transfer of real property by exclusive and nonexclusive listing agreements.

HB 1401 amends North Dakota law (Section 40-11-04.2) to give cities more flexibility when selling city-owned property.
