The bill proposes the creation of a new chapter in Title 28 of the North Dakota Century Code that addresses vexatious litigation. It defines key terms such as "litigation," "vexatious conduct," and "vexatious litigant," outlining the criteria under which an individual may be classified as a vexatious litigant. This includes having a history of engaging in vexatious conduct, such as filing multiple unmeritorious motions or relitigating previously determined cases. The bill establishes a process for courts to restrict vexatious litigants from filing new litigation or documents without prior court approval, and mandates that the costs associated with such litigation be imposed on the vexatious litigant.

Additionally, the bill requires the clerk of court to notify the state court administrator and federal district courts of any prefiling orders issued against vexatious litigants, who will be maintained on a list. The North Dakota Supreme Court is tasked with adopting rules to implement the provisions of this chapter. The bill is declared an emergency measure, indicating its immediate necessity for the judicial system.
