HB 1418 North Dakota House · 69th Legislative Assembly (2025-26)

AN ACT to amend and reenact section 29-06-15 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to arrests without a warrant for harassing a public safety agency.

HB 1418 amends North Dakota's Century Code to clarify when law enforcement may make warrantless arrests for harassing a public safety agency. The bill specifically targets conduct that interferes with public safety personnel or operations, though the exact definition of "harassing" isn't detailed in the provided abstract. It directly affects individuals who engage in behavior deemed disruptive to emergency services or public safety operations. This is a procedural code amendment focused on defining arrest authority, not a substantive policy change with broader public impact. The context provided does not include sufficient detail to describe the specific mechanisms or scope of the amendment.
