HB 1271: A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact subsection 6 of section 11-18-02.2 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to exceptions for providing statements of full consideration.

HB 1271 would amend a North Dakota law to expand exceptions for when property deeds do not require a "statement of full consideration" (a document detailing the transaction's value). It specifically adds exemptions for sales involving agricultural lands under 80 acres, family or corporate affiliate transactions, estate settlements, forced sales, and nonprofit organization transfers. This change would directly affect property sellers and buyers in these specific transaction types by reducing administrative paperwork. The bill aims to streamline property transfers for these common scenarios without requiring additional documentation. (Note: The bill failed to pass in committee and on the floor.)

SB 2166: A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 57-01 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to a property tax information portal; to provide a report; and to provide an appropriation.

HB 1315: A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 37-01 of the North Dakota Century Code; relating to the deployment of the North Dakota national guard; and to declare an emergency.

HB 1315 prohibits the North Dakota National Guard from being deployed into active combat missions unless Congress has officially declared war or taken specific constitutional action under Article I, Section 8. It defines "active duty combat" as participating in armed conflict, hazardous foreign service, or duties involving instruments of war. The bill requires the governor to ensure compliance, but does not restrict domestic deployments under Title 32 of U.S. Code for missions like civil authority support within the U.S. The legislation was introduced as an emergency measure in January 2025 but failed to pass in committee.
