HB 1585: A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 12-63 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to a requirement for peace officers to report undocumented immigrants to United States immigration and customs.

HB 1585 requires North Dakota peace officers (such as police and sheriffs) to report individuals they reasonably believe are in the U.S. illegally to U.S. immigration authorities. Officers must use a designated tip line or online form as soon as possible after forming this belief. Violating this requirement would be classified as an infraction, not a criminal offense. The bill failed to pass in the legislature on February 7, 2025.

SB 2320: A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 57-06-17.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the carbon dioxide pipeline tax exemption; and to provide an effective date.

SB 2320 would exempt carbon dioxide pipelines (and associated equipment) from property taxes during construction and for the first ten years after operation. It applies to pipelines built after 1996 used for transporting carbon dioxide for geologic storage or oil/gas recovery, but excludes interstate pipelines entering North Dakota. The exemption covers the pipeline itself (not the land) and would take effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024. This bill directly affects companies building or operating CO2 pipelines within North Dakota for these specific purposes.

SB 2316: A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 50-06 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to long-term care services for patients with ventilator or psychiatric needs.

SB 2316 proposed creating four regional service areas in North Dakota to provide long-term care for patients requiring ventilator support or psychiatric services. The bill would have required the state department to contract with providers in each region or pay for out-of-state care if local providers weren't available, while allowing collaboration with neighboring states. Facilities serving these patients could receive additional funding if they documented prior out-of-state care for the same patients. The bill specifically targeted patients with complex medical or psychiatric needs requiring ongoing specialized care. It failed to pass in the North Dakota legislature in February 2025.

HB 1608: A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 34-01 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to employee leave for rest and worship; and to provide a penalty.

HB 1608 would require North Dakota employers to grant employees at least 24 consecutive hours of leave for rest or religious observance on Sundays or recognized religious holidays, without restricting the duration. It prohibits employers from denying such leave and mandates that the labor commissioner investigate complaints, impose a $500 fine for violations, and may refer cases to a state attorney. Employers are exempt if leave denial results from an unavoidable emergency. The bill, which failed to pass the legislature in February 2025, is a proposed policy change affecting all North Dakota employees seeking religious leave.

HB 1548 allocates $10 million in one-time state funding to the Department of Health and Human Services for a fitness center grant at the Life Skills and Transition Center. The bill specifically provides funds to construct a fitness center that will directly benefit residents of this facility. The grant is intended for the 2025-2027 biennium and comes from the Strategic Investment and Improvements Fund. This is a funding measure focused on physical health infrastructure for a specific state-run residential program.

HB 1502: A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 54-27 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the growth of the state general fund budget.

HB 1502 would limit North Dakota's state general fund budget growth to a maximum of 3% per two-year budget cycle, unless a two-thirds vote of both legislative chambers approves a higher increase. The bill allows unused portions of the 3% allowance to be carried forward for up to three budget cycles to exceed the limit later. It directly affects the state budget process by imposing a spending cap on the legislature's annual budget decisions. This procedural bill, if enacted, would establish a new rule in the state code governing how much the state can spend from its general fund each biennium.

HB 1273: A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 54-06 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the prohibition of a policy, order, or ordinance that limits free speech.

HB 1273 would prohibit North Dakota cities, counties, and the state from adopting policies, orders, or ordinances that restrict individual speech - including those related to hate crimes. The bill states that any such local policy would be invalid and cannot be overridden by city or county home rule charters. It directly affects municipal governments and local regulations by blocking restrictions on speech at the community level. The law would take effect if passed, making speech-limiting local rules unenforceable.

HB 1385: A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 61-16.1-38, subsection 1 of section 61-16.1-53.1, section 61-32-03, and subsection 1 of section 61-32-08 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to deadlines for permits issued by the department of water resources.

HB 1385 sets specific deadlines for processing water resource permits in North Dakota. It requires the Department of Water Resources to make a final decision on permit applications (for dams, dikes, or drainage projects) within 120 days, and if they miss this deadline, the permit is automatically approved. For appeals of local board decisions, the department must decide within 120 days, and failure to act results in the appeal being denied. This affects developers, landowners, and water management entities seeking permits for projects requiring state approval under North Dakota's water resource laws.

HB 1521: A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact subsection 15 of section 57-40.3-04 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to a motor vehicle excise tax exemption for enrolled tribal members; and to declare an emergency.

HB 1521 would exempt enrolled members of federally recognized North Dakota tribes residing on tribal reservations from the state's motor vehicle excise tax. To qualify, individuals must provide proof of tribal enrollment and live within reservation boundaries (primary residence on reservation is required). The exemption applies retroactively to vehicle purchases after June 30, 2023, and the bill declares an emergency. This change directly affects tribal members living on reservations by removing a state tax on their vehicles.
