HB 1261 North Dakota House · 69th Legislative Assembly (2025-26)

AN ACT to repeal sections 15.1-18-05 and 15.1-18-06 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to special education strategist credentials.

HB 1261 repeals two specific sections (15.1-18-05 and 15.1-18-06) of North Dakota's Century Code that governed special education strategist credentials. This bill directly affects the credentialing process for professionals working in North Dakota's special education field by removing those specific regulatory requirements. The key mechanism is the simple deletion of the cited code sections, with no new provisions or requirements added. This is a procedural change to the state's education code, not a policy shift affecting students or schools.
