A concurrent resolution urging the Seventieth Legislative Assembly to consider enacting mandatory reporting requirements for public officials.

HCR 3037 is a concurrent resolution directing North Dakota's Legislative Management to study establishing new requirements for public officials regarding child exploitation. It proposes examining mandatory reporting of suspected abuse by officials, creating a specialized investigative body within the Attorney General's office, and implementing severe penalties - including criminal charges, removal from office, and loss of retirement benefits - for officials who engage in, enable, or conceal such abuse. The study would also assess victim safety protections, financial impacts, and similar laws in other states. This resolution does not create new laws but directs a feasibility study to inform potential future legislation.
