House passes multiple measures including NDSU congratulatory resolution; several bills withdrawn or re-referred
The North Dakota House recorded several procedural and legislative actions during the session:

- The House passed House Concurrent Resolution 3004, a concurrent resolution congratulating the North Dakota State University Bison football team for its 10th national college football championship since 2011. The clerk recorded 93 yays and 0 nays, and the resolution directs the secretary of state to forward copies to NDSU leadership.

- Engrossed House Bill 1048, amending language in Section 14-09.1-07 of the North Dakota Century Code to clarify mediation summary and signature requirements in contested child proceedings, passed 93-0. Committee materials said the changes are housekeeping edits that do not change the section's original intent.

- House Bill 1075, granting the Department of Emergency Services authority to conduct fingerprint-based statewide and nationwide criminal history checks for applicants and employees, passed 93-0 following committee amendment and collaboration with the attorney general's office and BCI to secure FBI approval.

- House Bill 1116, authorizing coroners and the state forensic examiner to disclose autopsy reports to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation for facility inspection purposes, passed 93-0. Representative Christensen said the autopsy report is private and would be shared with the Department of Corrections' inspector.

- The House also handled several procedural items: Representative Bosch moved and the House agreed to return and then withdraw House Bill 1195 and House Bill 1277 from committee for the purpose of withdrawal; both bills were withdrawn with no objection. Representative Bosch successfully moved to return HCR 5001 to the House from the Human Services Committee to be re‑referred to the Judiciary Committee, and HB 1301 was similarly returned from the Energy and Natural Resources Committee and re‑referred to the Judiciary Committee.

Votes were recorded on the clerk's roll; where recorded, final tallies were included in the session record.
