State Administrative Rules

North Dakota Administrative Code

The Legislative Council publishes the Administrative Code which is the codification of all rules of state administrative agencies, as that term is defined by North Dakota Century Code Section 28-32-02. Many state agencies are not administrative agencies as defined by Section 28-32-02. Although rules of those agencies are not required to be published in the Administrative Code, some agencies have consented to placing their rules in the code. Those agencies are identified with an explanatory note on the title page for that agency. The Administrative Code was initially published July 1, 1978. The loose-leaf version is updated with quarterly supplements. The Internet version is derived from the data base prepared by the North Dakota Legislative Council. It may vary in some respects from the text in the loose-leaf version. Updates generally will appear in the Internet version sooner than in the loose-leaf version. Information about subscriptions is available under Subscription Services.

The numbering system for the Administrative Code is a four-part number, with each part separated by a hyphen. The first part refers to the title, the second to the article, the third to the chapter, and the fourth to the section. Basically, each agency is listed in alphabetical order and assigned a title number, each division or major administrative area is assigned an article number, each subject area is assigned a chapter number, and each rule is assigned a section number. The decimal point system is used to designate material that has been inserted between two consecutively numbered items.

The general authority source note refers to the specific statute authorizing the agency to adopt the rule. The law implemented source note refers to the specific statute implemented by the rule. In some cases, the general authority and the law implemented will be the same. In some cases, source references may be to federal laws or regulations, or to court cases.

The table of contents to this on-line version of the Administrative Code is the listing of titles of the Code. Titles are captioned for the agency that adopts rules in the title. Selecting the appropriate title will direct you to the articles and chapters that make up the title.
