This bill mandates a legislative management study during the 2025-26 interim to review state laws concerning false accusations or false reports of a crime, specifically focusing on chapter 12.1-11 of the North Dakota Century Code. The study will involve input from both the state's attorney's association and defense attorneys to ensure a comprehensive examination of the current legal framework.
At the conclusion of the study, the legislative management is required to report its findings and recommendations to the seventieth legislative assembly, including any proposed legislation necessary to implement these recommendations. This initiative aims to address and potentially reform the laws surrounding false reporting in North Dakota.
