This bill introduces a new section to chapter 28-32 of the North Dakota Century Code, focusing on the enforcement of agency rules. It mandates that when an agency enforces a rule, whether through official notice, determination, order, or similar actions, it must explicitly reference the statute or rule that grants it the authority for such enforcement. This reference must be provided within ten days of a request from the individual against whom the rule is being enforced.

The intent of this legislation is to enhance transparency and accountability in the enforcement of agency rules by ensuring that individuals are informed of the legal basis for the actions taken against them. This requirement aims to protect the rights of individuals and promote fair administrative practices within state agencies.
