Maddy summaryHCR 3002 is a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow North Dakota to authorize and regulate sports betting within the state. If approved by voters, it would amend the state constitution to permit the legislature to license and regulate sports betting on professional and college sports. All tax revenue generated from sports betting would be required to fund K-12 public schools. This change would directly affect all North Dakotans by altering the state's legal framework for gambling and directing new revenue toward public education.

Maddy summaryHB 1157 requires North Dakota candidates running for office to maintain separate, non-interest-bearing campaign accounts distinct from their personal funds. This rule aims to prevent mixing campaign and personal money, ensuring accurate financial reporting for all candidates. The bill directly affects every candidate seeking elected office in North Dakota by mandating a clear separation of campaign finances.

Maddy summarySB 2162 would have amended North Dakota law to set a 35-mill assessment (equivalent to $0.035 per bushel) on wheat sold within the state. This fee would apply to wheat grown in North Dakota at sale, wheat delivered into the state at sale, and wheat sold through commercial channels to first purchasers in North Dakota, with the revenue collected by the wheat commission. The bill directly affects wheat producers, sellers, and buyers operating within North Dakota's agricultural market. However, the bill was withdrawn from consideration on January 13, 2025, before advancing further.
