Bismarck — Alongside extended debates on custody and carbon policy, the House took votes on multiple other measures during its Feb. 14 session. Several bills involving appropriations, agency authority and licensing passed; a few other proposals failed on final consideration. The transcript lists the following floor outcomes and brief descriptions.

Passed on final consideration (transcript-recorded results):
- House Bill 12-34: Appropriation/transfer to North Dakota Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) — transcript shows “The final vote shows 76, 8, House Bill number 12 34 is declared passed.” The bill would transfer funds to address PERS unfunded liability per committee recommendation.
- House Bill 13-31: Appropriation to North Dakota State College of Science (turf playing field authorization) — transcript records final: “The final vote shows 79 3, house bill number 13 31 is declared passed, and the emergency clause carried.” Committee reported due pass.
- House Bill 13-30 (legacy fund divestment from Chinese companies, as amended): transcript shows the bill passed; committee recommended due pass when amended (text: “House Bill 13 30 is declared passed” in floor record).
- House Bill 12-67 (optometry licensure and telemedicine clarifications): transcript records final: “Record shows 81, yea, 2 nay. House Bill number 12 67 is declared passed.”
- House Bill 11-27 (department bill creating Financial Institution Data Security Program and related amendments): transcript records final: “Ye, 78, nay, 0. House bill number 11 27 is declared passed.”

Failed or declared failed on final consideration (transcript-recorded results):
- House Bill 11-83 (direct gold and silver investment authorization and study): the transcript shows a recorded final tally and that the bill failed: “The final vote shows 47 yea, 33 nay. House bill number 11 83 is declared failed.”
- House Bill 14-56 (school chaplains statute): final roll-call recorded as “The final vote shows 35 VA, 40 6 nay. House bill number 14 56 is declared failed.” (transcript formatting retained).

Other floor actions noted in the transcript: House Bill 16-10 (prohibiting certain lease provisions for landlords) and House Bill 11-27 (DFI data-security amendments) were reported by committees and placed on the calendar; HB16-10’s committee recommended due pass as amended and the bill was considered on the floor during the session (committee vote and floor discussion recorded).

Context and significance: The passed bills included an appropriation to reduce PERS unfunded liabilities, authorization for a college to expend previously designated local funds for a turf field, modernization of licensing and data-security rules for financial-service firms, an optometry licensure update for telemedicine, and a divestment measure on legacy funds. Failed measures included a high-profile proposal to direct the state treasurer to buy and hold physical gold and a proposed statute authorizing school chaplains (the latter proved divisive in committee and on the floor).
