Passed · North Dakota House · Co-sponsor

A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact subsection 15 of section 57-40.3-04 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to a motor vehicle excise tax exemption for enrolled tribal members; and to declare an emergency.

Maddy summaryHB 1521 would exempt enrolled members of federally recognized North Dakota tribes residing on tribal reservations from the state's motor vehicle excise tax. To qualify, individuals must provide proof of tribal enrollment and live within reservation boundaries (primary residence on reservation is required). The exemption applies retroactively to vehicle purchases after June 30, 2023, and the bill declares an emergency. This change directly affects tribal members living on reservations by removing a state tax on their vehicles.

Failed · North Dakota Senate · Co-sponsor

A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 20.1-01-21 of the North Dakota Century Code; relating to hunting near buildings, occupied structures, or storage structures.

Maddy summarySB 2168 amends North Dakota law to clarify that hunting within 402 meters (440 yards) of any occupied building, occupied structure, or storage structure without the property owner's consent is unlawful. The bill directly affects hunters who may operate near residential or commercial properties, requiring them to obtain permission before hunting in this buffer zone. Key provisions specify the 402-meter distance limit and mandate written consent from the property owner for hunting activity within that range. This update refines existing regulations to explicitly include storage structures in the restricted area.

A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact subsection 3 of section 50-24.1-40 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the tribal health care coordination fund.

Maddy summaryHB 1461 would have created a state-funded tribal health care coordination fund to support tribal governments in North Dakota. The bill required the state to distribute funds to tribes based on their federal care coordination funding, with strict rules: funds must cover specific public health services (capping capital construction at 50% until 2025, then 35%), and tribes would need to submit annual reports and biennial audits by independent auditors. The state would withhold funds for late reports or misuse, and could resume payments once compliance was verified. This bill was introduced in January 2025 but withdrawn before further consideration.

A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 15.1-18.2 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to cardiac arrest prevention and education for student athletes and coaches.

Maddy summarySB 2099 would require North Dakota schools to provide cardiac arrest prevention and response training to student athletes and coaches. The bill proposes creating a new section in the state's legal code mandating this education as part of athletic programs. It directly affects student athletes and coaches in public and private schools across North Dakota by establishing specific training requirements. The key provision would standardize cardiac emergency preparedness, including instruction on using automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and emergency response protocols. This policy change aims to improve safety outcomes for student athletes during sports activities.
