Bill > SB2148

This bill amends a section of North Dakota law regarding the handling of estrays, which are livestock or animals found wandering without an apparent owner. The bill modifies the language related to reimbursement of costs associated with possessing an estray. Specifically, the bill changes the terminology from "reimbursable" to "reimbursed" and clarifies that any remaining proceeds after an estray's sale must be reported to the administrator of the state abandoned property office, instead of being forwarded to the North Dakota Stockmen's Association fund. This change shifts the responsibility for handling unclaimed proceeds from a livestock association to the state's abandoned property office, potentially creating a more standardized process for managing funds from the sale of unclaimed animals. The modification appears to be a technical update to streamline the administrative process for dealing with estrays in North Dakota.
