SB 2263: A BILL for an Act to provide an appropriation for mastery framework training grants.

SB 2263 allocates $500,000 for school districts to fund training grants focused on implementing "mastery frameworks" in education. This system requires students to master specific skills before advancing, and the bill provides grants for school district teams (including at least one administrator and, if available, an instructional coach) to develop and share these frameworks. Each team can receive up to $25,000 for staff stipends during dedicated training time (limited to ten days beyond regular contracts), with priority given to teams that have completed approved leadership training. The funding is one-time and intended for the 2025-2027 biennium, specifically to support schools in creating and scaling these instructional approaches across North Dakota.

HB 1275: A BILL for an Act to provide an appropriation to the industrial commission for a natural gas distribution infrastructure grant program.

HB 1275 proposes a one-time $5 million appropriation from North Dakota's strategic investment fund to create a natural gas infrastructure grant program administered by the Industrial Commission.

SB 2394: A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new chapter to title 47 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to association community bylaws and board of directors.

SB 2394 would establish new rules for homeowner associations in North Dakota, requiring them to adopt specific bylaws governing operations and board management. Key provisions include mandating annual budgets, formal reserve funds for future repairs (like roof replacements or pavement work), and quarterly board meetings with detailed financial disclosures to members. The bill directly affects property owners within these associations, requiring them to carry adequate insurance and providing members a 30-day response window for written inquiries. It also sets spending limits (requiring two board signatures for expenses over $10,000) and annual insurance updates to cover property replacement costs.

HB 1514: A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new chapter to title 23.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to harmful atmospheric activity; and to provide a penalty.

HB 1514 would have prohibited "harmful atmospheric activity" in North Dakota, including weather modification techniques like cloud seeding, stratospheric aerosol injection, and unmarked aircraft operations that could harm humans or the environment. It defined specific prohibited actions, set a class C felony penalty with up to $500,000 fines for violations, and created a reporting system for citizens to document suspected incidents with evidence like photos or radiation measurements. The bill also established technical limits for electromagnetic radiation and required sheriffs or the environmental director to investigate reports within 24 hours. This bill failed to pass in the North Dakota legislature on February 24, 2025, with 28 votes in favor and 63 against.

SB 2030: A BILL for an Act to provide an appropriation to the housing finance agency and the department of public instruction; to provide for a transfer; and to provide for a legislative management study.

SB 2030 allocates $10 million to North Dakota's Housing Finance Agency for homeless grants and $50,000 for a homelessness study during the 2025-2027 biennium. It also provides $1 million to the Department of Public Instruction for homelessness liaison services in the state's ten largest school districts, requiring each district to match state funds dollar-for-dollar. Additionally, the bill transfers $200 million to the Housing Incentive Fund and mandates a legislative study on homelessness to identify funding gaps and solutions. These provisions directly affect homeless individuals, school districts, and state agencies managing housing and education services.

SB 2378: A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 57-15 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to limitations on taxing district budgets without voter approval; and to provide an effective date.

SB 2378 would limit how much local governments (like cities, counties, or school districts) in North Dakota can increase property taxes without voter approval. It sets a cap: annual tax budget increases could not exceed the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from the previous year, adjusted for changes in taxable property (e.g., new construction or lost exemptions). To exceed this limit, local governments would need approval from at least two-thirds of voters in a general election, but only for one year at a time. The bill applies to all taxing districts and prevents cities/counties from overriding these rules through home rule authority. It was introduced in January 2025 but failed to pass in February 2025.

HB 1467: A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 23-12-22 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the publication of vaccine adverse event data and information; and to provide for a legislative management report.

HB 1467 requires North Dakota's Department of Health to create a website linking to the federal vaccine adverse event reporting system (VAERS) and compile state-specific data on vaccine side effects and administration errors. Healthcare providers must report adverse events and errors (like wrong dosage or expired vaccines) using department-prescribed forms, while the public can also submit reports. The bill establishes a $100,000 fund to support this system and mandates annual legislative reports on its effectiveness. It directly affects healthcare facilities, providers, and the public by creating a standardized process for tracking and reporting vaccine-related incidents.

SB 2142: A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 57-40.3-10 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to motor vehicle excise tax allocations; and to provide an effective date.

SB 2142 would redirect 25% of North Dakota's motor vehicle excise tax revenue to a new "township road and bridge sustainability fund" instead of previous allocations. This fund would provide annual payments to non-oil-producing counties for road and bridge projects in eligible townships, based on road miles. To qualify, townships must submit annual certifications showing road miles, township funds, and local tax rates, while excluding those that didn't maintain roads or met other criteria. The bill specifies that funds must be used solely for road and bridge construction, maintenance, or repairs. It would take effect for taxes collected after July 31, 2025, if passed.
