Bill Tveit was the primary sponsor of HB 1144, which he brought in response to Fargo Public Schools’ non-compliance with a 2023 ND law on the same topic. The bill requires public schools to designate multi-stall restrooms and shower rooms exclusively by male or female (with carve-outs for facilities existing before July 1, 2025), allows separate accommodations for transgender students with parental approval, grants the Attorney General investigative authority, and authorizes civil penalties up to $2,500 per violation. Bill voted yes on House passage 02/07 (73-18) and on final concurrence 04/28 (75-14), and the Governor signed the bill into law on May 1, 2025.
Bill Tveit was the primary author and lead sponsor of HCR 3048, a concurrent resolution from the 67th Legislative Assembly (2021) urging the President of the United States and the Department of Homeland Security not to transfer or relocate illegal aliens to North Dakota. As a concurrent resolution it represents the formal voice of the Legislative Assembly without carrying binding legal force. The resolution passed both chambers and was filed with the Secretary of State on April 16, 2021.
Bill voted yes on House passage. The amendment changes subsection 4 of section 54-24-03 of the North Dakota Century Code, which lists the State Librarian’s duties. The previous language directed the State Librarian to make library materials available to libraries, individuals connected with departments of state, and any citizens of North Dakota. The new language adds two qualifiers: citizens must be those “who do not have adequate library facilities,” and access is “under the rules of the state library.” In effect, the State Library is repositioned as a backstop for North Dakotans in underserved areas rather than a direct-borrow default for the general public, with the State Librarian gaining explicit rule-making authority over how that access works.
Bill voted yes on the bill. The bill would have created a state-level prohibition on so-called “red flag” or extreme risk protection orders, with associated penalties for any attempts to enforce them.
The bill would have banned weather modification, cloud seeding, stratospheric aerosol injection, and other “harmful” atmospheric activity in North Dakota with criminal penalties.
Bill voted yes on House passage. The bill was an administrative cleanup measure that updated filing requirements for professional employer organizations, confidentiality of certain Secretary of State records, notary fee and notice provisions, trade name registrant notice rules, and the Secretary of State’s fee schedule. The Governor signed it into law on March 18, 2025.
Bill voted yes on House passage. The bill granted civil-liability immunity to employees of the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, the 211 information and referral helpline, and the 911 emergency system for actions taken within the scope of their duties. The Governor signed it into law on March 18, 2025.
