Maddy summaryHB 1337 would provide $10 million in state funds to counties for mental health and substance use disorder treatment services for people in jail. The bill requires counties receiving grants to report annually on how funds were used and outcomes, and the health department to submit a summary report to lawmakers by 2026. This funding would cover the 2025-2027 biennium and aim to expand access to mental health care for incarcerated individuals.

Maddy summaryHCR 3022 is a non-binding resolution directing North Dakota's Legislative Management to study whether local governments (such as counties and cities) should invest public funds in stablecoins. The proposed study would examine security risks, financial oversight, stakeholder input, and practical considerations like cybersecurity and regulatory compliance. It does not authorize any investments but would gather data to inform future policy decisions. The resolution failed to pass in February 2025 after a vote of 15-75.

Maddy summaryHCR 3004 is a ceremonial concurrent resolution from the North Dakota Legislature congratulating the North Dakota State University (NDSU) football team on winning their 10th national championship since 2011. It formally recognizes the team's victory in the FCS championship game on January 6, 2025, and highlights the program's academic achievements, including student-athletes' high GPAs. As a symbolic gesture, the resolution has no legal effect or policy changes - it merely expresses legislative praise and directs copies to NDSU leadership. This is a procedural resolution, not a substantive bill affecting laws or regulations.
