Rep. Jim Kasper

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.

Maddy summaryHB 1323 amends North Dakota's reimbursement rules for state legislators, setting daily pay rates ($205 through June 2024, $213 after) and monthly stipends ($569 through June 2024, $592 after) for legislative service. It specifies limits on lodging reimbursement (capped at 30 times 70% of daily rates) and travel allowances, while clarifying eligibility for meal and lodging costs during sessions. The bill directly affects all North Dakota legislative members and their committees. It was introduced in January 2025 but withdrawn the same week without advancing, making its retroactive application (to January 1, 2025) moot.

Maddy summaryHB 1190 proposed creating a committee to name bridges and overpasses in North Dakota in honor of military service members who died while serving. The committee would review public nominations annually, select up to six locations each October, and coordinate with veterans groups and families for signage and dedication. The bill specified the committee would include the transportation director, adjutant general, and veterans affairs commissioner, with the transportation department providing administrative support. This bill, which was introduced but later withdrawn in January 2025, did not change existing laws but would have established a process for honoring fallen military members through infrastructure naming.
