This bill proposes the creation of 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, it must explicitly reference the statute or rule that grants it the authority for such action. Additionally, if an agency is found to have exceeded its authority or if its determination is not upheld by the court, it is required to report this to the governor's office. The bill also allows any individual to report violations of this section to the governor.

Furthermore, the governor's office is tasked with investigating reported violations and taking appropriate disciplinary actions, which may include issuing warnings or implementing improvement plans. The office must maintain records of these reports and actions taken, and it is required to provide an annual report to the administrative rules committee detailing the agencies involved in reported violations and the number of reports against each agency. Upon request, the governor's office must also provide copies of these records to the committee.
