Cigar lounges.

This bill aims to make changes to the rules governing cigar lounges in North Dakota. Specifically, it seeks to amend the existing regulations found in section 23-12-10 of the North Dakota Century Code. Cigar lounges would be affected by these changes, potentially impacting how they operate and comply with state laws.

The bill was introduced on January 15, 2025, and has since passed through several stages of the legislative process. After being referred to a committee, it was reported back with recommendations and passed by both the House and Senate. The final step was signing by the Governor, which occurred on April 28, 2025. The bill has now been officially passed into law.

Key actions in the bill's progress include its introduction, referral to the appropriate committees, and passage in both legislative chambers. A notable event was the appointment of a conference committee to resolve differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill. Once the committee's report was adopted, the bill was sent to the Governor for signature, marking its final enactment.
