AI Summary

This bill amends sections 44-08-05.1 and 54-10-25 of the North Dakota Century Code to address the disclosure of a pending investigation. Specifically, it prohibits the state auditor and their employees from divulging any information relating to a matter that has been forwarded to the attorney general or a state's attorney for further investigation until the attorney general or state's attorney has determined whether there is probable cause to believe a violation of law has occurred. This aims to protect the confidentiality of pending investigations until a determination is made.
