ND HB1119

Amendments and measures must be stated in full on the ballot unless the secretary of state determines the text is too long to print practicably, in which case a concise summary must be provided instead.

The secretary of state, in consultation with the attorney general, must print a statement showing the estimated fiscal impact and the effect of an affirmative or negative vote on each constitutional amendment or initiated/referred measure.

Ballot measures must be grouped and classified as constitutional amendments, initiated statutes, or referred statutes, with constitutional amendments placed first, followed by initiated statutes, then referred statutes.

Constitutional amendments submitted by the legislative assembly must be placed first within the constitutional amendments classification in the order approved by the legislative assembly.

All measures must be numbered consecutively on the ballot regardless of their classification groupings.
