North Dakota proposes bill requiring consultation with Native tribes on impacting laws.

North Dakota lawmakers are proposing House Bill 1455, which would require the state to consult with Native tribes before passing any laws that impact them. Sponsored by Rep. Collette Brown, a member of the Spirit Lake Nation, the bill aims to ensure tribal leaders are informed about legislation that could affect their communities. Currently, up to 100 bills per session impact tribes, and the bill has received a do-pass recommendation from a committee.
