SB 2146: AN ACT to create and enact chapter 43-40.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the occupational therapy licensure compact.

SB 2146 creates North Dakota's participation in an interstate occupational therapy licensure compact. It allows licensed occupational therapists from participating states to practice in North Dakota under a "compact privilege" without needing a separate state license, provided the patient is physically located in North Dakota during care. This mutual recognition improves access to therapy services for patients across state lines while preserving each state's authority to regulate practice and protect public safety. The compact also standardizes how states share disciplinary information and handle complaints between member states.

SB 2254: AN ACT to provide an appropriation to the department of transportation for fixed route city paratransit transportation services grants; and to provide for a legislative management study.

SB 2254 provides $2 million in one-time funding for fixed-route city transportation systems in North Dakota to support their paratransit services (accessible transit options for people with disabilities or mobility challenges) during the 2025-2027 biennium.
