Summary — North Dakota HB 1045 (2025 session)

Status: Filed with Secretary of State (03/14/2025). Introduced: November 12, 2024. Sponsor: Industry, Business and Labor Committee (at request of the Private Investigative and Security Board). Statutory change: adds two subsections to NDCC § 43‑30‑16.

Purpose

To set maximum (cap) amounts for specific fees charged under the private security / detective licensing statutes: (1) an application fee for non‑live remote or online classroom instruction for apprentice security officers; and (2) renewal and late fees for nonlicensed officers and certain agency owners.

Key provisions

  • Creates two new subsections to North Dakota Century Code § 43‑30‑16.
  • Application fee cap for online classroom instruction:
    • The application fee for a non‑live remote or online classroom instruction course for apprentice security officers may not exceed $60.
  • Renewal fee and late fee caps for nonlicensed officers and some owners:
    • The renewal fee for all nonlicensed officers and for owners holding at least a 10% interest in a private security or detective agency may not exceed $60.
    • A late fee of up to $20 may be charged for each month the renewal fee remains due and unpaid.

Language used: “may not exceed,” i.e., the Private Investigative and Security Board (or other fee‑setting authority) may set fees up to but not higher than these caps.

Who is affected

  • Apprentice security officers taking a non‑live remote/online classroom instruction course.
  • “Nonlicensed officers” (individuals registered/employed in security roles who are subject to renewal under § 43‑30) — and
  • Owners with at least a 10% ownership interest in a private security or detective agency (when they are required to renew).
  • The Private Investigative and Security Board and agencies that collect and administer those fees.

Potential impacts

  • Cost relief / predictability for apprentices and nonlicensed officers and qualifying owners (caps limit fee increases).
  • Possible reduction or stabilization of fee revenue for the Board/state if current fees exceed these caps (likely modest given the modest dollar amounts).
  • Administrative effect: requires the Board to adjust any existing fee schedules above these caps and to apply the $20/month late fee limit.

Implementation & procedure

  • The bill adds the fee caps directly to NDCC § 43‑30‑16. The bill text does not state a different effective date; standard practice is that the law takes effect according to the Legislature’s enactment provisions (check enrolled bill for effective date).
  • Origin: requested by the Private Investigative and Security Board and advanced by the Industry, Business and Labor Committee.
  • Current public legislative status: filed with the Secretary of State 03/14/2025 (consult the official legislative website or Secretary of State for final enactment/effective date and any later amendments).

If you want, I can:
- Check current NDCC § 43‑30‑16 to show what fee amounts (if any) are being replaced;
- Draft suggested fiscal-note language estimating revenue impacts based on estimated numbers of renewals/training applications.
