The bill amends subdivision b of subsection 1 of section 28-32-10 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to the requirements for abbreviated notices in administrative rulemaking. The revised language specifies that agencies or commissions must request the publication of an abbreviated notice in each official county newspaper in the state. The notice must be formatted in a display-type style, with specific dimensions, and must include a headline that describes the general topic of the proposed rules.

Additionally, the bill updates the content requirements for the notice. It now mandates that the notice include the telephone number or address for obtaining a copy of the proposed rules, details about the emergency status and effective date of any emergency rules, and the deadline for submitting written comments. Furthermore, it requires a short description of the general subject matter of the proposed rules and allows for the inclusion of a quick response code for accessing the full notice or additional information. The previous requirement for the notice to include the location, date, and time of the public hearing has been removed.
