AN ACT to amend and reenact subsection 3 of section 44-04-18.3 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the exempt status of department of corrections and rehabilitation work schedule records.
HB 1415 amends North Dakota law to explicitly exempt work schedule records of employees in the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and law enforcement agencies from public disclosure. This means these specific scheduling records, which were previously subject to public records requests, will no longer be accessible to the public under state law. The bill directly affects corrections and law enforcement staff by shielding their work schedules from transparency requests. The change clarifies and codifies an existing exemption within the state's public records statute.

MINOR
This bill amends the North Dakota Century Code to clarify that work schedule records for employees of both law enforcement agencies and the department of corrections and rehabilitation are exempt from public disclosure. The change consolidates these exemptions into a single provision and updates the bill's formatting to reflect its progression from introduction to final enrollment.
Scope change
The scope of the exemption now explicitly covers both law enforcement agencies and the department of corrections and rehabilitation in one unified provision, rather than treating them separately.
REQUIREMENT
Combined work schedule exemption language for law enforcement and corrections into a single subsection for clarity and consistency.
TECHNICAL
Added standard legislative formatting elements including assembly session details, sponsor information, and certification signatures.
Removed redundant bill text and page numbering that was present in the initial introduction version.
