Judiciary Committee advances technical corrections bill that cleans up Century Code cross-references
Summary
House Bill 1031, a legislative council technical corrections bill, was given a do-pass recommendation after legislative counsel outlined multiple typographical and cross-reference corrections across the Century Code; committee emphasized that the bill contains no policy changes.
The Senate Judiciary Committee recommended a do-pass on House Bill 1031, a technical corrections bill prepared by Legislative Council that consolidates and corrects definitions and cross-references in the North Dakota Century Code.
Megan Gordon of Legislative Council presented the bill and walked the committee through its provisions. Section 1 consolidates 14 scattered definitions from chapter 101 into section 101.49. Other sections correct typographical errors and outdated cross-references, update an electric grid operator’s name to Midcontinent Independent System Operator, remove a repealed information technology advisory committee reference, and fix several chapter and section citation errors. Gordon said the bill “does not in any which way whatsoever touch policy, but just clarifies language so that it's uniform in code.”
Senator Lueck moved a do-pass recommendation; the motion was seconded and carried. The committee named Senator Lueck as the carrier.
Ending: Committee discussion confirmed repeatedly that the bill is technical in nature and contains no policy changes; Legislative Council will carry forward the corrections if the bill advances.
