This bill amends and reenacts several sections of the North Dakota Century Code related to political organizations, specifically focusing on the organization and operation of party caucuses and district committees. Key amendments include the requirement for legislative district parties to hold a caucus by May 15 following the last general election and after redistricting becomes effective. The bill also introduces new provisions for issuing a call for a party caucus within thirty days of redistricting if certain geographical conditions are met. Additionally, it clarifies the roles and responsibilities of district committees, including the selection of officers and the organization of meetings.

Furthermore, the bill repeals sections of the current law that pertain to district parties and committees, streamlining the legal framework governing political organizations. It establishes that officers of a political party organization are immune from civil liability for actions taken in their official capacity, except in cases of gross negligence or misconduct. The amendments aim to enhance the organization and governance of political parties in North Dakota, ensuring compliance with updated legislative boundaries and improving the overall electoral process.
