This bill amends the North Dakota Century Code regarding the requirements for abbreviated notices in administrative rulemaking. It specifies that agencies or commissions must publish an abbreviated notice in each official county newspaper at least once. The revised language emphasizes that the notice must be in a display-type format with specific dimensions and include a headline that describes the general topic of the proposed rules.

Additionally, the bill outlines the necessary components of the notice, which now must include the telephone number or address for obtaining a copy of the proposed rules, identification of any emergency status and effective date of emergency rules, the deadline for submitting written comments, and details about the public hearing. New provisions also allow for the inclusion of a short statement about the rule change and a quick response code that provides additional information related to the proposed rules.
