HB 1131: AN ACT to amend and reenact section 4.1-25-40.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the sale of raw milk products; and to provide a penalty.

HB 1131 allows North Dakota farms to sell raw milk directly to consumers for personal use but prohibits selling it to wholesalers, retail stores, or donating it. It specifically bans raw milk sales involving interstate commerce or mass distribution, restricting transactions to direct farm-to-consumer sales within the state. The bill exempts these direct sales from other dairy regulations in North Dakota law, including chapters covering dairy product standards and food safety. This law directly affects dairy farms seeking to sell raw milk products while clarifying legal boundaries for such transactions.

HB 1430: A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 43-41 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the regulation of social workers.

HB 1430 would amend North Dakota's social work regulations to allow licensed social workers to offer counseling aligned with heterosexuality or a client's biological sex without violating ethics rules. It directly affects licensed social workers in North Dakota who provide counseling to individuals questioning their sexuality or gender identity. The bill requires social workers to disclose the nature of such treatment and obtain written consent from the client or their parent/guardian before proceeding. This legislation, which failed to pass in March 2025, focuses on defining ethical boundaries for specific counseling approaches under professional regulation.

HB 1294: AN ACT to amend and reenact subsection 2 of section 39-06.1-06 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the amount of fees for a moving violation.

HB 1294 amends North Dakota's traffic code to adjust fees for moving violations, directly affecting drivers convicted of specific traffic offenses. It sets a base fee of $20 for most moving violations but increases fees for certain offenses, including $150 for a first violation of passing a stopped schoolbus (Section 39-10-46) and $750 for repeat violations within five years. The bill also specifies higher fees for other violations, such as $100 for speeding in school zones (Section 39-08-20) or $500 for certain commercial vehicle offenses (Section 39-10-59). These changes are codified in Sections 39-06.1-06, 39-10-46, and 39-10-46.1 of the North Dakota Century Code.

HB 1389: A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact sections 11-11-55.1, 40-22-01.3, and 57-15-41 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to infrastructure fees levied by cities and counties, and the exemption of infrastructure fees from levy limitations.

This bill exempts infrastructure fees collected by North Dakota cities and counties from local tax spending limits. It ensures fees for projects like roads, sewers, or utilities won't count toward the maximum taxes a city or county can levy under state law. The law applies to fees defined in specific sections of the North Dakota Century Code (including sections 11-11-55.1 and 40-22-01.3). This change directly affects how local governments fund infrastructure projects without triggering budget restrictions.

SB 2149: AN ACT to amend and reenact section 15.1-36-08 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the school construction assistance revolving loan fund; and to declare an emergency.

SB 2149 updates North Dakota's School Construction Assistance Revolving Loan Fund, administered by the Bank of North Dakota, to provide low-interest loans for public school construction and remodeling projects. It sets maximum loan amounts: up to $15 million for projects under $75 million (or 80% of cost if district funds exceed limits), up to $30 million for larger projects, and up to $20 million for projects on air force bases. The bill requires school districts to meet specific eligibility criteria, including project cost thresholds ($1 million minimum), approval from the superintendent, community voting, and prioritization based on student needs, building age, and safety. Loans carry a 2% interest rate with a 20-year term, and the fund is replenished by repayments to support future school construction.

SB 2260: AN ACT to amend and reenact sections 47-20.2-01, 47-20.2-02, 47-20.2-03, 47-20.2-05, and 47-20.2-06 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the North Dakota coordinate system zones.

SB 2260 updates North Dakota's geographic coordinate system definitions in state law. It formally establishes four coordinate systems: the North Dakota coordinate system of 1927 and 1983 (divided into north/south zones), the statewide North Dakota coordinate system of 2022 (one zone), and sixteen low-distortion coordinate zones for the 2022 system (e.g., "Fargo zone," "Bismarck zone"). The bill specifies how these systems must be referenced in land descriptions, such as "North Dakota coordinate system of 1983, north zone" or "Fargo zone of the North Dakota coordinate system of 2022." This procedural update primarily affects land surveyors, government agencies, and property records that rely on standardized geographic coordinates.

SB 2288: AN ACT to create and enact a new subsection to section 53-06.1-11.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the payment of a veterans organization's club expenses with net proceeds from charitable gaming.

SB 2288 allows North Dakota veterans organizations to use up to 20% of their quarterly net profits from approved charitable gaming events (like raffles or bingo) to cover costs for food, beverages (including alcohol), and operating their club. It specifically permits one club per organization and applies only to expenses directly tied to that club's operations. The bill changes existing law to clarify how veterans groups can fund their social facilities using revenue from their charitable activities. This policy directly affects licensed veterans organizations in North Dakota that host charitable gaming events.

SB 2258: AN ACT to create and enact a new section to chapter 28-32 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the enforcement of agency rules.

SB 2258 requires North Dakota state agencies to always cite the specific law or rule authorizing their enforcement actions (like notices or orders). If an agency exceeds its legal authority or loses a court challenge, it must report the issue to the Governor's office. The Governor's office must investigate reports of violations, maintain records, and issue an annual report to the legislative committee detailing agencies involved. This bill directly affects all state agencies enforcing rules, adding transparency and accountability to their enforcement processes.

SB 2205: AN ACT to amend and reenact section 53-06.1-11.2 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the charitable gaming operating fund.

SB 2205 creates a dedicated "charitable gaming operating fund" in North Dakota's state treasury to manage all taxes, fines, and penalties collected from charitable gaming activities (like bingo or raffles run by nonprofits). The bill requires quarterly allocations: $75,000 to the gambling disorder prevention and treatment fund, and 5% of total funds to cities and counties based on taxes collected from local games (with a minimum $200 threshold for payments). It also mandates that any excess funds remaining after covering administrative costs be transferred to the state's general fund every odd-numbered year. This bill directly affects how charitable gaming revenue is distributed to state programs and local governments.
