After the do-not-pass recommendation, the committee also placed the bill on the consent calendar.

Representative Ruby moved the do-not-pass recommendation, expressing concern that the bill went \"a little too far\" in the benefits it would provide to 100 percent disabled veterans and saying the committee should offer such benefits sparingly. Representative Olson, who said he is himself a disabled veteran, agreed with Ruby that the measure had gone too far despite previously co-sponsoring it. The committee adopted the do-not-pass recommendation on the record; the transcript records each member voting yes or no on the roll call and shows the do-not-pass motion carried.

Later in the same hearing, Representative Novak moved — and the committee approved — placing the bill on the consent calendar. The transcript records the motion carrying, but does not provide the bill text, the specific program changes proposed by Senate Bill 2199, nor a full numeric tally for the do-not-pass roll call in a single aggregated line. The record of votes on the do-not-pass motion shows multiple members voting \"Yes\" during the roll call and the clerk announcing the result as a do-not-pass recommendation.

What was said

Representative Ruby: \"I got a little concerned with the just the how quick these points are gonna accumulate. I understand we're talking about 100 percent, disabled veterans. ... I think this might just be 1 that's just a little too far in my book, so I'd move a do not pass.\"

Representative Olson (during discussion): \"I agree with Representative Ruby. I myself am a % disabled veteran and you know we do Prescott does a lot of great things for our veterans ... I think this is probably 1 of those...\"

What the record does not specify

The transcript does not include the full bill text for Senate Bill 2199 (the specific benefits or statutory changes are not printed in the hearing transcript) and does not provide a single consolidated numerical tally for the do-not-pass vote in the clerk’s announcement. The record also contains minor name variants across the roll call entries; the article uses the committee roster names as spoken during roll call and discussion.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","House Energy and Natural Resources Friday, Mar 21, 2025 9:25 AM - 9:47 AM","oneSentenceSummary","The House Energy and Natural Resources Committee voted to recommend 'do not pass' on Senate Bill 2199 after debate about benefits to disabled veterans; the committee later placed the bill on the consent calendar.","taxTitle","Energy and Natural Resources, House of Representatives, Legislative, North Dakota","taxId",28890,"location","North Dakota","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6114664,"House committee amends Senate Bill 2379 to send single certified notice to 'owner on the tax list'",466,555000,1021000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2742579-39e15f2b261e3388fa97349f1a432f1d&start=555&end=1021","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2742579-39e15f2b261e3388fa97349f1a432f1d/thumbnail_555000.jpg","/articles/6114664/North-Dakota/House-committee-amends-Senate-Bill-2379-to-send-single-certified-notice-to-owner-on-the-tax-list","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6114664-b66662bff3b905815035cc232c7ab489/orig.mp4?Expires=1771096995&Signature=ZUeJ9HNvJeF2Kd~JbNhcjcZ~By2JrY3SX2iJBxPqe5mOJI0SUKCFTbEoCgEY0ZRW7SSUeO6NwCX9N89hMqpg4z~9fHmWvSP19QKFXh2n6M~w89m~0oJ~VvR-kSN4UA9v5iUmhiHolgFC8JYxdbMLI5-YOaZXWyuRDGe8yoR6fqhbX93IZczZWUJZSwJgfCgM2-rkkK7TaaCW2qXT5CYl3MJ3xGjbYERF2ZvOUheafrxxCHtwG-GBioz9bFKkGXh5znMotWb2-SeovrvxwHolrmw-nUxDBWFnyI9W3IBr1zPFlRIZwIAMtMRnVYtde20UG92vfvBjYqe33Pt0r96yUw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House Energy and Natural Resources Committee amended and voted to advance Senate Bill 2379 on a voice and roll-call vote, changing the bill so that notice would be addressed to the “owner on the tax list” and directing that a single certified mailing cover multiple sibling parcels with the same listed owner.

The change, adopted as amendment 0.02003, strikes the word \"landowner\" and inserts \"owner on the tax list\" on page 1, line 16 of the proposed amendment. Committee members said the revision is intended to avoid sending multiple notices to different parcel identifiers that belong to the same listed owner. Chairman Porter announced the amendment passed on a roll call showing nine yes votes and four no votes; the committee later voted 9–4 to give the bill a due-pass recommendation as amended.

Why it matters: the amendment narrows how mail notice will be distributed for the bill’s intent-to-survey requirement, affecting which individuals or entities receive a certified notice and how many mailings are generated when a single owner holds multiple adjacent or related parcels.

Discussion and clarifications

Representative Hedlund asked what would happen if a recipient refused to accept or acknowledge a certified mailing. A staff member told the committee that, under the bill’s approach, the obligation of the notifying company is met by sending the certified letter and the statute would treat delivery as the trigger; the committee record does not create a separate refusal-acceptance process in the bill text.

Committee members and an unnamed postal employee also described how certified mail is processed: the postal system records a barcode and a date/time stamp and retains a paper trail; if a recipient does not pick up a certified item it is eventually returned and the notice remains on file. The committee heard disagreement about whether the bill should require permission from a landowner rather than only providing notice. Representative Ruby said, “I am gonna oppose this because we're getting away from the permission from the landowner and just doing notice. I think it's a little bit better, but, the intent of the bill was was permission and that's where I would like to see it stay.”

What the record does not specify

The transcript records committee discussion about certified mail and delivery mechanics but does not quote a specific statutory citation or provide the full bill text on the record.

Next steps

Chairman Porter indicated the bill will be carried forward by the bill carrier identified on the record as 2379.","The House Energy and Natural Resources Committee amended Senate Bill 2379 to require one certified notice per affected owner listed on the tax rolls, replacing language that referenced 'landowner.' The committee voted to pass the bill as amended and will carry it forward.","actionData","errors"]
