AI Summary

  • Standardizes chemical testing terminology and procedures across multiple North Dakota codes relating to boating, hunting, motor vehicles, and snowmobiles by using consistent language for "alcohol concentration" and "presence of other drugs" rather than varying definitions.

  • Requires the state crime laboratory director to electronically post certified lists of approved testing designations, testing devices, qualified operators, and analytical reports on the attorney general website instead of maintaining separate county records.

  • Updates alcohol concentration measurement units from "cubic centimeters" to "milliliters" for blood and urine samples to reflect modern scientific standards.

  • Establishes that certified records electronically posted on the attorney general website serve as prima facie evidence in proceedings and hearing officers may introduce regularly kept records from the state crime laboratory without additional foundation.

  • Changes the term "person" to "individual" throughout relevant statutes and clarifies implied consent provisions for chemical testing across boating, hunting, motor vehicle operation, and snowmobile operation activities.
