The 69th Legislative Assembly of North Dakota convened on February 10, 2025, to address several key legislative items. The session began with discussions surrounding House Bill 1321, which proposed an increase in the monthly allowance of THC for medical use. Representative Murphy expressed concerns regarding the safety of such a high dosage, citing existing medical literature and the drug's approved indications. Ultimately, the bill failed with a vote of 37 in favor and 53 against.

Following this, the assembly moved on to House Bill 1260, which aimed to update the method for determining nonresident deer bow licenses. Representative Porter, chair of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, reported that the bill had received unanimous support from the committee. The bill was designed to base the number of licenses on the current year's deer population count rather than the previous year's, addressing issues that arose from fluctuating deer populations due to environmental conditions. The assembly passed this bill with a significant majority, recording 87 votes in favor and only 3 against.

The assembly then considered House Bill 1423, which had previously failed. Representative Ruby requested a reconsideration of the bill, aiming to send it back to the Industry, Business, and Labor Committee for further evaluation, particularly regarding cost-of-living adjustments. The motion to reconsider passed, allowing for further discussion on the bill.

In the latter part of the session, the assembly addressed various resolutions and bills on the consent calendar. Representative Bosch moved for the final passage of all resolutions, which was approved without opposition. However, several bills were removed from the consent calendar for further consideration, including House Bills 1589 and 1592.

The session concluded with announcements regarding upcoming committee meetings and a motion to adjourn until the following day. The assembly's proceedings highlighted a mix of legislative successes and ongoing discussions, particularly around public health and wildlife management issues.
