Rep. Roger Maki

Maddy summaryHB 1333 proposes requiring North Dakota public school districts to provide students with at least 30 minutes for lunch daily between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. It also allows high school students to be excused from the class immediately following lunch if they obtain a counselor’s written verification and provide it to their teacher once per semester. The bill directly affects all North Dakota public school districts and their students, particularly high schoolers seeking flexibility in their schedules. If enacted, it would establish a concrete, mandatory lunch break duration standard across the state’s public schools. (Note: The bill failed to pass in February 2025.)

Relating to the evaluation of economic development tax incentives, the carbon dioxide capture and injection use tax exemption, and the ad valorem property tax exemption for carbon dioxide capture equipment used for enhanced oil recovery and secure geologic storage; to repeal sections 57‑06‑17.1, 57‑06‑17.2, and 57‑39.2‑04.14 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the carbon dioxide pipeline exemption, payments in lieu of taxes for certain carbon dioxide pipeline property, and the carbon dioxide capture and injection sales tax exemption; and to provide an effective date.

Maddy summaryHB 1366 would establish specific fee amounts for speeding violations in North Dakota, directly affecting drivers who exceed speed limits. The bill sets tiered fees based on how many miles per hour over the limit a driver was traveling (e.g., $5 for 1-5 mph over in most zones, escalating to $500 for 10+ mph over in certain high-speed zones), with higher fees for school zones ($40 for 1-10 mph over) and construction zones ($80 for 1-10 mph over). It also specifies additional fees for violations like failing to yield to pedestrians or speeding in commercial vehicle safety rules. The bill does not change speed limits or enforcement procedures, only the financial penalties for specific speeding offenses.

Relating to nonresident upland and small game licenses; and to amend and reenact section 20.1‑03‑07 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to nonresident hunting licenses.

Relating to evaluation of economic development tax incentives and the use tax exemption for raw materials, single‑use product contact systems, and reagents used for biologic manufacturing; to repeal section 57‑39.2‑04.19 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the sales tax exemption for raw materials, single‑use product contact systems, and reagents used for biologic manufacturing; and to provide an effective date.

Maddy summaryHB 1089, titled "A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 1-08 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to regulations or plans adopted by international organizations," lacks specific policy details in its title and abstract. The bill's official description does not identify which international regulations or plans it addresses, who would be affected, or any concrete mechanisms. Since the bill failed to pass on January 29, 2025 (38 yeas, 53 nays), no provisions were enacted. Without further information on the intended regulations or scope, a substantive summary of its policy changes cannot be provided.

Maddy summaryHB 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. The bill defines "family days" as these specific holidays under existing state law and applies to all school activities, whether required or optional. It directly affects school districts and student participation in events on these dates. The proposed law failed to pass in January 2025 after committee review.
