SB 2365: A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 54-12-30 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to twenty-four seven sobriety program fees.

SB 2365 amends North Dakota law to clarify fee collection for the 24/7 Sobriety Program, directly affecting offenders participating in the program and the criminal justice agencies administering it.

It requires courts to reimburse agencies if fees are waived, and mandates that all collected fees be used solely for program support services, equipment maintenance, or compliance - never for general state funds. The bill failed to pass in the 2025 session after committee recommendation to "do not pass."

HB 1379: A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new subdivision to subsection 1 of section 57-38-01.3 and a new subdivision to subsection 2 of section 57-38-30.3 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to a personal and corporate income tax adjustment for capital gains from the sale of bullion; and to provide an effective date.

HB 1474: A BILL for an Act to provide for a legislative management study of property tax reform for residential property.

HB 1474 proposes a new tax based on the square footage of residential properties in North Dakota, replacing the traditional ad valorem tax for many homeowners.

Key provisions include establishing a per-square-foot tax rate on both land and structures, modifying existing property tax credit rules for energy-efficient installations, and requiring county boards to adjust tax assessments under new valuation requirements. The bill also repeals an existing exemption for new residential properties and sets limits on how much local governments can levy through this new tax structure. The bill failed to pass in the North Dakota legislature on March 11, 2025, with 5 votes in favor and 42 against.
