Rep. Jim Grueneich

Relating to a partial property tax exemption for residential property used for in‑home care services for a qualifying individual; and to provide an effective date.

Relating to farm tractor registration and the amount of statutory fees; to amend and reenact subdivision a of subsection 2 of section 39‑04‑18 and sections 39‑06.1‑09, 39‑09‑02, and 39‑09‑09 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to farm tractors, speed limitations, and minimum speed limits; and to provide a penalty.

Relating to weight limitations for vehicles on the interstate system and weight limitations for vehicles on highways other than the interstate system.

Maddy summaryHB 1240 would require auto insurance companies in North Dakota to offer policies with separate coverage for repairing or replacing damaged auto glass, distinct from standard comprehensive or collision coverage. This directly affects insurance providers writing auto policies and drivers who purchase comprehensive or collision insurance. The key provision mandates that any such glass coverage must include its own separate deductible, not shared with other policy deductibles. The bill aimed to make glass repairs more affordable by preventing drivers from having to meet the full deductible for other car damage when only the glass is broken.

Relating to school board and park district member elections; and to repeal sections 15.1‑09‑09, 15.1‑09‑10, 15.1‑09‑11, 15.1‑09‑12, 15.1‑09‑13, 15.1‑09‑14, 15.1‑09‑15, 15.1‑09‑16, 15.1‑09‑18, 15.1‑09‑19, 15.1‑09‑20, 15.1‑09‑21, 15.1‑09‑22, and 15.1‑09‑24 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to election procedures in school district elections.

Maddy summaryHB 1202 would allocate $3 million from North Dakota's flexible transportation fund to a specific county impacted by a state supreme court case involving a drainage project. The grant, intended for a single two-year period (2025-2027), covers project costs including litigation expenses, inflation adjustments, and other drainage-related expenditures. It overrides standard fund designation rules under section 24-02-37.3, directing the Department of Transportation to distribute the funds as a one-time grant. The bill failed to pass in committee and on the floor during the 2025 legislative session.

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.

Relating to a property tax credit for property used as a primary residence; to amend and reenact subsection 1 of section 57‑02‑08.1 and subsection 1 of section 57‑38‑30.3 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the homestead tax credit and income tax rates for individuals, estates, and trusts; to provide for a legislative management study; to provide for a legislative management report; to provide an appropriation; to provide an effective date; and to provide an expiration date.

Relating to the sale of raffle boards; and to amend and reenact subsection 3 of section 53‑06.1‑14 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to affixing a North Dakota gaming stamp.

Relating to the agriculture infrastructure grant program; to amend and reenact section 4.1‑01.1‑07 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the agriculture diversification and development fund; to provide an appropriation for the agriculture diversification and development fund; and to provide for a transfer.
