This bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 54-06 of the North Dakota Century Code that explicitly prohibits any state or political subdivision from adopting or implementing policies, orders, or ordinances that limit or prohibit individual free speech. The bill emphasizes that this prohibition extends to all forms of speech, including those addressed in hate crime ordinances.

Additionally, the bill asserts that this new section cannot be overridden or modified by any city or county home rule charter or ordinance, ensuring a uniform standard across the state. Any policy, order, or ordinance that contravenes this section would be deemed void, reinforcing the commitment to protecting free speech rights in North Dakota.
