HB 1251: A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 15.1-06 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the prohibition of school extracurricular activities on certain holidays.

HB 1251 would prohibit North Dakota public schools from holding extracurricular activities - including games, practices, performances, or competitions - on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter Sunday.

HB 1060: A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact sections 65-01-15, 65-01-15.1, and 65-01-15.2 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the presumption of compensability for correctional officers.

HB 1060 would amend North Dakota Century Code sections 65-01-15, 65-01-15.1, and 65-01-15.2 to automatically provide workers' compensation coverage for work-related injuries sustained by correctional officers. If passed, it would eliminate the need for these officers to prove their injuries were job-related to receive benefits. The bill directly affects correctional officers working in North Dakota state facilities. This change would simplify the compensation process for affected officers under the existing workers' compensation system.

HB 1436: A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 57-40.3-02 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the motor vehicle excise tax; and to provide for an effective date.

HB 1436 proposes to amend North Dakota's motor vehicle excise tax code by establishing age-based tax rates: 5% for vehicles under 11 years old, 3% for vehicles 11-25 years old, and 1% for vehicles over 25 years old. The tax applies to the purchase price of any motor vehicle acquired for use in North Dakota, whether bought inside or outside the state. The bill would have taken effect for taxable events occurring after June 30, 2025, but failed to pass the legislature in January 2025. This change would directly affect individuals purchasing new or used vehicles in North Dakota, altering the tax burden based on vehicle age.

HB 1187: A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 35-27 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to a debris removal lien.

HB 1187 creates a legal lien on fire insurance proceeds for debris removal after a total property loss. It directly affects property owners with fire insurance claims and local governments (cities or counties) in North Dakota. The bill requires insurers to notify owners and local auditors within 10 days of a total loss, allowing cities/counties to claim a lien equal to the greater of $5,000 or 10% of the policy’s real property coverage. The lien must be filed within 30 days and applies only to debris removal costs, not personal property or temporary housing payments. Local governments must release the lien once remediation is complete or insurance pays the claim.

It required individuals seeking certain jobs (like teachers, healthcare workers, foster parents, or adoption/parenting roles) to provide fingerprints and written consent for statewide and nationwide background checks, with agencies mandated to complete checks within three days. The bill applied to multiple state agencies including education boards, health departments, and foster care providers, but was withdrawn from consideration before becoming law.

SB 2318: A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 50-24.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to paid family caregiver services.

SB 2318 would have required North Dakota's Medicaid program to create paid family caregiver services for eligible individuals in home and community-based waiver programs (excluding the aged and disabled waiver). It would have mandated payments to legally responsible family caregivers at rates matching professional direct support wages, capped at 40 hours per week, and required an evidence-based assessment considering individual needs like medical care and social circumstances. The bill also specified that an advisory council must review the program's design and assessment methods. However, the bill was introduced on January 20, 2025, and withdrawn the same day without committee action.

HB 1262: A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 30.1-28-04 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to guardians of incapacitated persons.

HB 1262 amends North Dakota law governing guardianships for incapacitated adults, directly affecting court-appointed guardians and the individuals under their care. The bill requires courts to prioritize the ward’s self-reliance, mandate strict findings of incapacity (rejecting age or medical diagnosis alone), and demand consideration of existing powers of attorney before appointing a guardian. Key provisions include limiting guardians’ authority to only necessary powers, requiring detailed asset inventories within 90 days, and establishing mandatory 5-year reviews to determine if guardianship remains necessary. The law also protects specific rights like voting, changing marital status, and retaining a driver’s license, ensuring guardianship remains the least restrictive option.

SB 2099: A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 15.1-18.2 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to cardiac arrest prevention and education for student athletes and coaches.

SB 2099 would require North Dakota schools to provide cardiac arrest prevention and response training to student athletes and coaches. The bill proposes creating a new section in the state's legal code mandating this education as part of athletic programs. It directly affects student athletes and coaches in public and private schools across North Dakota by establishing specific training requirements. The key provision would standardize cardiac emergency preparedness, including instruction on using automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and emergency response protocols. This policy change aims to improve safety outcomes for student athletes during sports activities.
