The proposed bill aims to establish 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 for identifying individuals who engage in vexatious conduct in legal proceedings. The bill provides a procedure for judges to designate a litigant as vexatious, including the issuance of a prefiling order that restricts the litigant from filing new litigation or documents without prior court approval. The bill also stipulates that failure to comply with the prefiling order may result in contempt of court.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the imposition of costs and attorney fees on vexatious litigants, as well as the maintenance of a roster of such litigants by the state court administrator. It specifies that vexatious litigants may not file documents electronically and must do so in paper format. The bill is declared an emergency measure, indicating its urgency for implementation.
