AN ACT to create and enact a new section to chapter 14-09 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to interference with court-ordered parenting time; to create a child custody review task force; to provide for a legislative management report; and to provide a penalty.

New requirement that courts must order additional parenting time to compensate a parent who loses court-ordered parenting time due to intentional interference by the other parent.

Courts must give deference to the proposed additional parenting time schedule of the parent who lost time and may require parents to use co-parenting applications.

Additional parenting time must occur within two years of the interference and can be up to double the time lost, including weekends, holidays, and summer time.

A new child custody review task force must be created during the 2025-26 interim to study custody enforcement issues and submit recommendations by June 30, 2026.

Courts can now sanction parents who fail to comply with parenting time orders as contempt of court.

Removed the old statute that defined penalties for removing children across state lines and making false reports to authorities.

The task force must meet at least quarterly and submit its final report by June 30, 2026.
