The bill amends section 16.1-02-15 of the North Dakota Century Code regarding the availability of voter lists and reports for election-related purposes. It allows voter lists or reports generated from the central voter file to be made available to any person, whether located within or outside the state, for election-related purposes. However, it stipulates that any information obtained from these lists or reports cannot be sold or distributed for non-election-related purposes. Additionally, it clarifies that information in the central voter file is generally considered an exempt record, with specific exceptions for certain identified information.

Furthermore, the bill designates "secured active" individual records as exempt and not available to any person for any purpose, except for specific information outlined in the law. It also establishes that any funds received by the secretary of state for producing voter reports or lists must be deposited into the secretary of state's general services operating fund. This amendment aims to enhance the regulation of voter information access while ensuring the protection of individual privacy.
