MODERATE

The bill was renamed from HB 1089 to First Engrossment HB 1089 and renumbered from section 25.0078.02000 to 25.0078.03000. The bill's language was significantly rewritten to clarify that international UN plans cannot directly impose rules on North Dakota residents while allowing local governments to enact similar laws independently.

Scope change

The bill's scope was clarified to explicitly state that local governments may still pass laws similar to UN resolutions, whereas the original version did not include this clarification.

DEFINITION

Removed specific definitions for Agenda 21, Net-zero emissions plan, and 2030 agenda, replacing them with a general reference to UN-adopted plans.

REQUIREMENT

Changed the prohibition language from listing specific UN plans to a general rule that UN plans infringing on property rights are void, while explicitly allowing local governments to enact similar laws.

Removed the provision prohibiting the state or political subdivisions from expending public funds to organizations implementing UN-related policies.

Removed the amendments to sections 23-12-21 and 23.1-01-15 regarding international health and climate control regulations.

TECHNICAL

Updated bill numbering from 25.0078.02000 to 25.0078.03000 and changed title from 'HOUSE BILL NO. 1089' to 'FIRST ENGROSSED HOUSE BILL NO. 1089'.
