AN ACT to create and enact a new subsection to section 54-23.3-04 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to authorization for children of inmates to reside at the Heart River correctional center.

SB 2352 creates a new legal provision in North Dakota law authorizing children of incarcerated individuals to reside at the Heart River Correctional Center. This bill directly affects inmates' children and the correctional center by establishing a formal process for their residence there. The key mechanism is the addition of a specific subsection to the North Dakota Century Code (section 54-23.3-04) that authorizes this arrangement. The bill does not change existing policies but provides statutory authorization for an existing practice.
