SB 2165: AN ACT to amend and reenact subsection 2 of section 12-63-04 and sections 12-63-05 and 12-63-12 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the powers and duties of the peace officer standards and training board and peace officer licensing fees.

SB 2165 amends North Dakota laws governing peace officer licensing, directly affecting current and prospective law enforcement officers. The bill expands the Peace Officer Standards and Training Board's authority to require medical or psychological evaluations of officers for public safety, and allows the board to access medical records without standard privacy restrictions. It also clarifies grounds for license denial or suspension, including felony convictions, domestic violence offenses, use of unjustified force, or false statements during licensing. The bill updates fee structures for applications, renewals, and other licensing actions, and specifies that medical information provided to the board is exempt from typical privacy protections. These changes aim to strengthen licensing oversight while streamlining administrative processes.

SB 2353: AN ACT to amend and reenact sections 15.1-09.1-02.1 and 54-44.4-02 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to regional education associations.

SB 2353 amends North Dakota law to define required services for regional education associations (REAs) seeking state funding and streamline contracting for these services. It mandates that REAs must provide professional development coordination, technology support, school improvement assistance, student data analysis help, and curriculum enrichment to member school districts (Section 15.1-09.1-02.1). The bill also adds contracts between the Department of Public Instruction and REAs to an exception list in state procurement rules, allowing direct contracting without standard competitive bidding (Section 54-44.4-02). This directly affects school districts participating in REAs and the state's education funding structure. The changes aim to clarify REA service obligations and simplify administrative processes for education support.

SB 2377: AN ACT to amend and reenact section 26.1-47-02.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to preferred provider arrangements and restrictions on dental care services.

This bill (SB 2377) changes North Dakota law to protect dental plan enrollees. It bars dental plans from controlling fees charged by dentists for services not covered by the plan (like routine checkups if not included in the plan). It also prevents plans from denying patients additional dental care when annual, lifetime, or frequency limits have been reached. The law directly affects dental patients and providers by ensuring they aren't restricted from accessing care when plan limits are exhausted.

SB 2196: AN ACT to amend and reenact subsection 3 of section 15.1-19-16 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to student self-administration of asthma or anaphylaxis medication.

SB 2196 amends North Dakota law to allow students with asthma or anaphylaxis to self-administer their prescribed medication (like inhalers or epinephrine auto-injectors) at school without requiring a nurse or staff member to be present. This directly affects students diagnosed with these conditions and their school staff, who must follow updated protocols. The key provision clarifies that schools must permit students to carry and use their own medication during school hours and school activities, provided it is prescribed and stored properly. The change updates existing school health policies to align with current medical guidelines for student safety.

SB 2209: AN ACT to amend and reenact section 12.1-34-07 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the expansion of medical examinations of victims of criminal conduct; and to provide an appropriation.

This bill (SB 2209) prevents victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse/neglect from being charged for medical exams used to gather crime evidence. It requires North Dakota's Attorney General to reimburse healthcare providers and children's advocacy centers for these exams using a $200,000 state appropriation. The law ensures victims (including children) and their guardians won't face direct billing for forensic exams or preliminary screenings. Evidence collected under this law cannot be used against victims for unrelated offenses. The funding supports domestic violence examiner programs and requires reporting on how funds are used and victim outcomes.

SB 2382: AN ACT to create and enact a new chapter to title 28 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to vexatious litigation; and to declare an emergency.

SB 2382 creates new rules in North Dakota law to address vexatious litigation, which occurs when someone repeatedly files lawsuits without legal basis to harass others or delay court proceedings. It defines a "vexatious litigant" as a person who has filed multiple unmeritorious cases or engaged in abusive tactics within seven years, and allows courts to issue a "prefiling order" requiring such individuals to get court permission before filing new cases or documents. This order may block filings without permission, require payment of costs for frivolous filings, or mandate security deposits. The law aims to reduce court burden by preventing repeated abuse of the system, with affected individuals having 14 days to respond to the order and limited appeal rights. The bill was signed into law by the governor on March 28, 2025.

SB 2191: AN ACT to provide for a legislative management study relating to health care services in local correctional facilities.

SB 2191 authorizes a legislative study to examine health care services provided in local correctional facilities. The bill itself does not change existing policies or directly affect any individuals; it only creates a process for lawmakers to review current healthcare practices in jails. The study would assess how health care is delivered, potentially identifying gaps or inefficiencies. This is a procedural measure to gather information, not a policy change, and no specific mechanisms or outcomes are defined in the bill.

It requires the industrial commission to set qualification standards for bidders, and if the highest bidder doesn't meet them, the commissioner must consider the second-highest bidder who meets the standards. Applicants rejected for not qualifying face a civil penalty equal to their bid amount. The bill directly affects companies seeking oil and gas leases on state or school lands managed by the board of university and school lands.
