Arrests without a warrant for harassing a public safety agency.

HB1418 proposes changes to the North Dakota law, specifically section 29-06-15 of the North Dakota Century Code, to allow public safety officers to make arrests without a warrant for those who harass them while they are performing their duties. This harassment could include actions like threatening, intimidating, or verbally attacking the officers.

This bill affects public safety officers and anyone who might engage in harassing them while they are on duty. If passed, it would give these officers more tools to protect themselves and maintain order during their work.

The bill has successfully passed both the House and the Senate, and was signed by the Governor on April 2, 2025. It officially became law on April 7, 2025, after being filed with the Secretary of State.
