This bill introduces new provisions to the North Dakota Century Code, specifically creating exemptions for onsite inspections conducted by boards of township supervisors. It establishes that such inspections are considered exempt meetings, meaning they do not require the same public notice and transparency as regular meetings. The exemption applies when the township lacks staff capable of conducting the inspection or when the board of township supervisors is acting in the capacity of township officers and staff.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the board of township supervisors must make good-faith efforts to notify news media that have requested such notifications, provided they include their contact information. This notification can be done via telephone or any other method used to inform the public body members. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the process for township supervisors while still maintaining some level of public awareness through media notifications.
