Passed · North Dakota Senate · Co-sponsor

A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 14-09-06.5 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to additional parenting time after a false allegation of harm to a child.

Maddy summarySB 2184 would amend North Dakota law to require courts to grant additional parenting time to a parent falsely accused of harming a child. If a court finds a parent made a false harm allegation against the other parent (not in good faith), the court must order the false accuser to pay the other parent's legal costs and fees. The bill mandates that the falsely accused parent receives additional parenting time matching the denied time (e.g., weekends, holidays), to be scheduled within two years of the court's finding. This directly affects parents in custody disputes where false allegations led to denied court-ordered parenting time.

A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact subsection 6 of section 11-18-02.2 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to exceptions for providing statements of full consideration.

Maddy summaryHB 1271 would amend a North Dakota law to expand exceptions for when property deeds do not require a "statement of full consideration" (a document detailing the transaction's value). It specifically adds exemptions for sales involving agricultural lands under 80 acres, family or corporate affiliate transactions, estate settlements, forced sales, and nonprofit organization transfers. This change would directly affect property sellers and buyers in these specific transaction types by reducing administrative paperwork. The bill aims to streamline property transfers for these common scenarios without requiring additional documentation. (Note: The bill failed to pass in committee and on the floor.)
