A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 53-06.1-14, subsection 11 of section 53-06.2-01, and sections 53-06.2-07 and 53-06.2-10 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the authorized sale of electronic gaming devices by manufacturers and live or simulcast horse racing.

Maddy summaryHB 1342 proposes changes to North Dakota's licensing rules for gaming equipment manufacturers and distributors. It updates annual license fees (ranging from $1,000 to $10,000) and specifies that portions of these fees ($500-$1,500) must fund a charitable gaming technology program. The bill also clarifies distribution rules, requiring equipment sales only to licensed entities and mandating state gaming stamps for paper-based games like pull tabs. Additionally, it redefines "racing" to include live or simulcast horse racing under the certificate system. Note: The bill was introduced in January 2025 but withdrawn before committee action.

Maddy summaryHB 1427 requires data center developers to obtain a certificate of site compatibility from North Dakota's Public Service Commission before building new data centers or significantly expanding existing ones that involve energy consumption. The bill updates existing siting rules to explicitly include data centers as a regulated facility type, mandating that locations must minimize environmental and community impacts. Developers must submit written certifications about proposed sites and secure commission approval for unavoidable impacts on protected "avoidance areas," with a 30-day deadline for commission review. This policy directly affects data center operators planning new construction or major energy-intensive expansions in North Dakota.
