The 69th Legislative Assembly of North Dakota convened on February 10, 2025, with a full agenda addressing various legislative matters. The session began with a roll call, confirming the presence of 47 senators, thus establishing a quorum.

The first order of business involved the correction and approval of the journal from the previous day. The committee on correction and revision recommended amendments, which were adopted following a voice vote.

Senator Klein then moved to withdraw Senate Concurrent Resolution 4010 from the education committee. This resolution, which focused on the protection of women in sports in relation to NCAA regulations, was deemed unnecessary following a recent executive order from the President that aligned with its objectives. Senator Bridal expressed support for the withdrawal, highlighting the positive reception among female athletes regarding the new standards. The motion to withdraw the resolution passed without objection.

Continuing with the agenda, Senator Klein proposed a temporary amendment to Senate Rule 329, changing the legislative day reference from the 23rd to the 26th. This motion was also approved.

Senator Klein further moved that Senate Bill 2292 and Senate Bill 2016 be advanced to the eleventh order for immediate consideration. The motion carried, allowing the Senate to proceed to the sixth order, where proposed amendments to Senate Bill 2292 were discussed. Senator Cleary presented an amendment related to the funding of medical screenings and forensic examinations for sexual assault victims, which was adopted after a favorable vote.

The session then moved to the eleventh order, where Senate Bill 2292 was read for consideration. This bill aims to amend the North Dakota Century Code concerning the reimbursement process for medical screenings and examinations for sexual assault victims.

Overall, the meeting was marked by significant legislative actions, including the withdrawal of a resolution concerning women's sports and the advancement of critical bills aimed at supporting victims of sexual assault. The Senate's next steps will involve further discussions and votes on these important issues.
