Votes at a glance: key bills on the House floor, April 14, 2025
The North Dakota House of Representatives considered and voted on multiple measures April 14, 2025. Several committee recommendations carried the day while others failed on final votes.

Notable outcomes:

- Senate Bill 21-37 (supplemental feed for hunting) — passed 56-34 after the House rejected two proposed amendments (see separate coverage).

- Senate Bill 22-10 (legislative study on managing water by watershed boundaries) — passed 85-3. The Energy and Natural Resources Committee recommended a due-pass vote; proponents said the study will examine watershed-based management approaches used in other states.

- Senate Bill 23-87 (rights of sexual violence survivors) — passed 89-0 after Human Services Committee amendments. The bill codifies rights for survivors when reporting or seeking forensic exams and includes provisions about advocates and access to reports.

- Senate Bill 20-69 (publication requirements for legal notices) — passed 72-17 after committee amendments; the change allows state agencies to post notices on their websites as a backstop if newspaper publication was inadvertently missed.

- Senate Bill 23-25 (nonfederal easements on wetland areas) — failed 4-84; the Energy and Natural Resources Committee recommended do not pass, citing practical and cost difficulties in determining ordinary high water marks for many small wetlands.

Other floor actions: conference committee reports were adopted on specified House measures, and multiple bills were noted as signed by the governor in a message read into the record.

The House adjourned until 12:30 p.m., Monday, April 14, 2025, after completing the day's business.
