Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend and reenact section 49-10.1-14 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to access to investigative and surveillance records and meetings of the public service commission.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 49-10.1-14 of the North Dakota Century Code to add new provisions regarding investigative and surveillance records related to railroad safety. The bill maintains the existing language that allows the Public Service Commission to adopt and enforce railroad safety rules, including rules that may be more stringent than federal regulations when necessary to address state or local safety hazards. The key addition is a new subsection that establishes that records and meeting portions related to ongoing railroad investigations by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Railroad Administration's state safety participation program are now classified as exempt records under section 44-04-17.1 of North Dakota law. This means these specific investigative and surveillance records will be protected from public disclosure, likely to preserve the integrity of ongoing safety investigations and prevent potential interference with or compromise of investigative processes.
