ND HB1392

Amends North Dakota Century Code Section 12.1-15-02 to update language related to criminal penalties for intercepting wire or oral communications and eavesdropping.

Maintains class C felony charge for intentionally intercepting any wire or oral communication by electronic, mechanical, or other device, or intentionally disclosing/using contents of such communications.

Maintains class A misdemeanor charge for secretly loitering about a building to overhear discourse or conversation with intent to repeat or publish the information to vex, annoy, or injure others.

Updates statutory language to clarify that law enforcement actors must be a party to the communication or have prior consent from all parties before interception, replacing "prior consent to such" with "before the interception."

Adds requirement that when all parties consent to interception, the communication must not have been intercepted for the purpose of committing a crime or other unlawful harm.
