AI Summary
This bill creates a new section of the North Dakota Century Code that exempts motor vehicle drivers from liability for damages if they unintentionally cause injury or death to an individual who is intentionally obstructing vehicular traffic on a public road, street, or highway. It also amends an existing section to state that a driver is not guilty of an offense if they unintentionally cause injury or death to someone who is intentionally obstructing traffic.
