AN ACT to amend and reenact sections 11-09.1-04, 11-09.1-05, 40-05.1-05, 40-05.1-06, and 40-49-07 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to election laws in home rule counties and cities and nominating petition signature thresholds in park districts.

Added sections 11-09.1-05 and 40-05.1-06 to the list of amended statutes, expanding the bill's scope to include state election laws in home rule areas.

New Section 11-09.1-05 grants counties specific powers including eminent domain, financial control, property tax levies, infrastructure fees, and various sales and use taxes with detailed compliance requirements.

Modified the supersession language to exclude county election matters from state law supersession, clarifying that counties cannot override state election laws even with a home rule charter.

Added specific limitations on sales and use taxes, requiring 90-120 days notice before new taxes can be imposed and mandating collection by the state tax commissioner.

Added definitions for 'general special assessments' and 'green field special assessments' to clarify what infrastructure costs can be charged to property owners.
