2007 North Dakota Century Code
WARNING!!! The North Dakota Century Code on this web site may or may not contain currently applicable law. The data base that provides the code information includes bills enacted in 2007, provisions of which may take effect on different effective dates. Thus, some sections of the code may be in effect and others may not have taken effect as of the date you use this site.The Century Code system contains the Constitution of North Dakota and the North Dakota Century Code. The version of the Century Code on this system is derived from the bill drafting data base used by the North Dakota Legislative Council. It may vary in some respects from that text of the Code as contained in the published version available from LexisNexis. The Century Code includes all statutory changes made by the 60th (2007) Legislative Assembly, which adjourned on Wednesday, April 25, 2007.
The Century Code is the codification of all general and permanent law enacted since statehood. In very limited instances, the Century Code contains temporary laws. The numbering system for the Century Code is a three-part number, with each part separated by a hyphen. The first part refers to the title, the second to the chapter, and the third to the section. For example, Section 54-35-01 refers to the first section in Chapter 35 of Title 54. The decimal point system is used to designate sections that have been inserted between two consecutively numbered sections. The Century Code consists of 65 titles, generally arranged in alphabetical order.
The table of contents to this on-line version of the Century Code is derived from the listing of titles of the Code. The list provides the title number and contents. Selecting the appropriate title will lead you to that title. Two frames will appear. The right-hand frame contains the text of that title of the code. You can scroll through the title on a section-by-section basis or you can use the chapter listing that appears in the left-hand frame. The left-hand frame contains a list of chapter numbers and contents for the selected title. To find a particular section or subject within that title, you can scroll through that title, use the left frame and scroll through a listing of chapters in that title, or do a search using Acrobat Search. Note that the search results are only for that title of the Code.
