1. After consultation with the head of the state department or institution or with the state

board, commission, committee, or agency affected, the attorney general may appoint

assistant or special assistant attorneys general to represent the state board,

commission, committee, or agency. A state officer, head of any state department,

whether elected or appointed, or state department, board, commission, committee, or

agency may not employ legal counsel, and a person may not act as legal counsel in

any matter, action, or proceeding in which the state or any state department, board,

commission, committee, or agency is interested or is a party, except upon written

appointment by the attorney general. Workforce safety and insurance, the department

of transportation, the state tax commissioner, the public service commission, the

resources may employ attorneys to represent them. These entities shall pay the

salaries and expenses of the attorneys they employ within the limits of legislative

appropriations. The attorneys that represent these entities must be special assistant

attorneys general appointed by the attorney general pursuant to this section. Absent

good cause, the attorney general shall appoint as special assistant attorneys general

licensed attorneys selected by these entities. The attorney general may revoke the

appointment only for good cause or upon the request of the entity. Good cause means

an inadequate level of experience, competence, or ethical standards.

2. The powers conferred upon special assistant attorneys general are the same as are

exercised by the regular assistant attorneys general, unless the powers are limited

specifically by the terms of the appointment. Except as otherwise provided by this

section, an appointment is revocable at the pleasure of the attorney general. The

appointment may be made with or without compensation, and when compensation is

allowed by the attorney general for services performed, the compensation must be

paid out of the funds appropriated therefor.

3. The attorney general may require payment for legal services rendered by any

assistant or special assistant attorney general to any state official, board, department,

agency, or commission and those entities shall make the required payment to the

attorney general. Moneys received by the attorney general in payment for legal

services rendered must be deposited into the attorney general's operating fund.

General fund moneys may not be utilized for the payment of legal services provided by

the attorneys employed by the attorney general, except for those payments required of

the department of health and human services, department of environmental quality,

and the state hospital.

4. An assistant or special assistant attorney general appointed to represent the state

board of higher education or an institution under the control of the state board of

higher education may access and examine any record under the control of the state

board of higher education. For purposes of reviewing records under the Family

Educational Rights and Privacy Act [20 U.S.C. 1232g; 34 CFR 99] or any other federal

privacy law, the assistant or special assistant attorney general is considered a state

educational official authorized to access student records.

Status: in_force

54-24-09. Distribution of certain state publications for certain libraries required

The office of management and budget shall arrange to deposit with the state library eight

copies of all publications issued by all executive, legislative, and judicial agencies of state

government intended for general public distribution. These publications must be provided to the

state library without charge. If expense and limited supply of state publications, particularly

audiovisual items, make compliance with the depository requirement impossible, the state

library shall accept as many copies as an agency can afford to provide. However, each agency

shall provide no less than two copies to the state library. State publications refer to any

informational materials regardless of format, method of reproduction, or source, originating in or

produced with the imprint of, by the authority of, or at the total or partial expense of, any state

agency. The definition incorporates those publications that may or may not be financed by state

funds but are released by private bodies such as research and consultant firms under contract

with or supervision of any state agency. In circumstances not directly involving the office of

management and budget, a state agency shall comply with the depository requirement by

arranging with the necessary parties for the printing and deposit of eight copies of any state

publication issued. State publications are specifically defined as public documents but not those

administrative or training materials used only within the issuing agency. As the document

acquisition and distribution agency, the state library shall retain for its document collection two

copies of every state document received and transmit the remaining copies to the depository

libraries. These are the libraries of the state historical society, the university of North Dakota,

North Dakota state university, library of Congress, and two others to be designated by the state

library. The state library shall catalog state publications and arrange for their conversion to a

digital format as prescribed by the state records administrator and shall make available for

distribution of the same upon request to the designated depository libraries.

Status: in_force

54-03.2-15. Penalties

A person guilty of contempt under section 54-03.2-14 is guilty of a class B misdemeanor, or

if tried to the legislative assembly, or an appropriate house thereof, the legislative assembly or

the appropriate house may impose such punishment as it deems appropriate, in the exercise of

its inherent powers.

If any investigating committee fails in any material respect to comply with the requirements

of this code, any person subject to a subpoena or a subpoena duces tecum who is injured by

such failure is relieved of any requirement to attend the hearing for which the subpoena was

issued or, if present, to testify or produce evidence therein; and such failure is a complete

defense in any proceeding against such person for contempt or other punishment.

Any person other than the witness concerned or that person's counsel who violates

subsection 7 or 8 of section 54-03.2-12 is guilty of a class B misdemeanor. The attorney

general, on the attorney general's own motion or on the application of any person claiming to

have been injured or prejudiced by an unauthorized disclosure, may institute proceedings for

trial of the issue and imposition of the penalties provided herein. Nothing in this section limits

any power which the legislative assembly or either house thereof may have to discipline a

member or employee or to impose a penalty in the absence of action by a prosecuting officer or

court.

54-24.1-01. Interstate Library Compact

The Interstate Library Compact is hereby enacted into law and entered into by this state

with all states legally joining therein in the form substantially as follows:

ARTICLE I - POLICY AND PURPOSE

Because the desire for the services provided by libraries transcends governmental

boundaries and can most effectively be satisfied by giving such services to communities and

people regardless of jurisdictional lines, it is the policy of the states party to this compact to

cooperate and share their responsibilities; to authorize cooperation and sharing with respect to

those types of library facilities and services which can be more economically or efficiently

developed and maintained on a cooperative basis; and to authorize cooperation and sharing

among localities, states, and others in providing joint or cooperative library services in areas

where the distribution of population or of existing and potential library resources make the

provision of library service on an interstate basis the most effective way of providing adequate

and efficient service.

ARTICLE II - DEFINITIONS

As used in this compact:

1. "Library agreement" means a contract establishing an interstate library district

pursuant to this compact or providing for the joint or cooperative furnishing of library

services.

2. "Private library agency" means any nongovernmental entity which operates or

assumes a legal obligation to operate a library.

3. "Public library agency" means any unit or agency of local or state government

operating or having power to operate a library.

ARTICLE III - INTERSTATE LIBRARY DISTRICTS

1. Any one or more public library agencies in a party state in cooperation with any public

library agency or agencies in one or more other party states may establish and

maintain an interstate library district. Subject to the provisions of this compact and any

other laws of the party states which pursuant hereto remain applicable, such district

may establish, maintain, and operate some or all of the library facilities and services

for the area concerned in accordance with the terms of a library agreement therefor.

Any private library agency or agencies within an interstate library district may

cooperate therewith, assume duties, responsibilities, and obligations thereto, and

receive benefits therefrom as provided in any library agreement to which such agency

or agencies become party.

2. Within an interstate library district, and as provided by a library agreement, the

performance of library functions may be undertaken on a joint or cooperative basis or

may be undertaken by means of one or more arrangements between or among public

or private library agencies for the extension of library privileges to the use of facilities

or services operated or rendered by one or more of the individual library agencies.

3. If a library agreement provides for joint establishment, maintenance, or operation of

library facilities or services by an interstate library district, such district shall have

power to do any one or more of the following in accordance with such library

agreement:

a. Undertake, administer, and participate in programs or arrangements for securing,

lending, or servicing of books and other publications, any other materials suitable

to be kept or made available by libraries, library equipment or for the

dissemination of information about libraries, the value and significance of

particular items therein, and the use thereof.

b. Accept for any of its purposes under this compact any and all donations and

grants of money, equipment, supplies, materials, and services, conditional or

otherwise, from any state or the United States or any subdivision or agency

thereof, or interstate agency, or from any institution, person, firm, corporation, or

limited liability company, and receive, utilize, and dispose of the same.

c. Operate mobile library units or equipment for the purpose of rendering

bookmobile service within the district.

d. Employ professional, technical, clerical, and other personnel, and fix terms of

employment, compensation, and other appropriate benefits; and, where

desirable, provide for the inservice training of such personnel.

f. Acquire, hold, and dispose of any real or personal property or any interest or

interests therein as may be appropriate to the rendering of library service.

services in its own right shall have a governing board of not more than five members

to be selected by the boards of the participating agencies which shall direct the affairs

of the district and act for it in all matters relating to its business. Each participating

public library agency in the district must be represented on the governing board which

must be organized and conduct its business in accordance with provision therefor in

the library agreement; but, in no event may a governing board meet less often than

twice a year.

interstate library district may be represented on or advise with the governing board of

and conduct joint or cooperative library programs, render joint or cooperative library services,

and enter into and perform arrangements for the cooperative or joint acquisition, use, housing,

and disposition of items or collections of materials which, by reason of expense, rarity,

specialized nature, or infrequency of demand therefor would be appropriate for central collection

and shared use. Any such programs, services, or arrangements may include provision for the

exercise on a cooperative or joint basis of any power exercisable by an interstate library district

and an agreement embodying any such program, service, or arrangement must contain

provisions covering the subjects detailed in Article VI of the compact for interstate library

agreements.

ARTICLE VI - LIBRARY AGREEMENTS

1. In order to provide for any joint or cooperative undertaking pursuant to this compact,

public and private library agencies may enter into library agreements. Any agreement

executed pursuant to the provisions of this compact must, as among the parties to the

agreement:

a. Detail the specific nature of the services, programs, facilities, arrangements, or

properties to which it is applicable.

b. Provide for the allocation of costs and other financial responsibilities.

c. Specify the respective rights, duties, obligations, and liabilities of the parties.

disposal of joint or common property, if any, and all other matters which may be

2. No public or private library agency may undertake to exercise itself, or, jointly with any

other library agency, by means of a library agreement, any power prohibited to such

agency by the constitution or statutes of its state.

3. No library agreement becomes effective until filed with the compact administrator of

each state involved, and approved in accordance with Article VII of this compact.

ARTICLE VII - APPROVAL OF LIBRARY AGREEMENTS

1. Every library agreement made pursuant to this compact must, prior to and as a

condition precedent to its entry into force, be submitted to the attorney general of each

state in which a public library agency party thereto is situated, who shall determine

whether the agreement is in proper form and compatible with the laws of that state.

The attorneys general shall approve any agreement submitted to them unless they

shall find that it does not meet the conditions set forth herein and shall detail in writing

addressed to the governing bodies of the public library agencies concerned the

specific respects in which the proposed agreement fails to meet the requirements of

law. Failure to disapprove an agreement submitted hereunder within ninety days of its

submission constitutes approval thereof.

2. In the event that a library agreement made pursuant to this compact deals in whole or

in part with the provision of services or facilities with regard to which an officer or

agency of the state government has constitutional or statutory powers of control, the

agreement must, as a condition precedent to its entry into force, be submitted to the

state officer or agency having such power of control and must be approved or

disapproved by the officer or agency as to all matters within the officer's or agency's

jurisdiction in the same manner and subject to the same requirements governing the

action of the attorneys general pursuant to subsection 1. This requirement of

submission and approval is in addition to and not in substitution for the requirement of

submission to and approval by the attorneys general.

ARTICLE VIII - OTHER LAWS APPLICABLE

Nothing in this compact or in any library agreement may be construed to supersede, alter,

or otherwise impair any obligation imposed on any library by otherwise applicable law, nor to

authorize the transfer or disposition of any property held in trust by a library agency in a manner

contrary to the terms of such trust.

ARTICLE IX - APPROPRIATIONS AND AID

1. Any public library agency party to a library agreement may appropriate funds to the

interstate library district established thereby in the same manner and to the same

extent as to a library wholly maintained by it and, subject to the laws of the state in

which such public library agency is situated, may pledge its credit in support of an

interstate library district established by the agreement.

2. Subject to the provisions of the library agreement pursuant to which it functions and

the laws of the states in which such district is situated, an interstate library district may

claim and receive any state and federal aid which may be available to library agencies.

ARTICLE X - COMPACT ADMINISTRATOR

Each state shall designate a compact administrator with whom copies of all library

agreements to which the administrator's state or any public library agency thereof is party must

be filed. The administrator shall have such other powers as may be conferred upon the

administrator by the laws of the administrator's state and may consult and cooperate with the

compact administrators of other party states and take such steps as may effectuate the

purposes of this compact. If the laws of a party state so provide, such state may designate one

or more deputy compact administrators in addition to its compact administrator.

ARTICLE XI - ENTRY INTO FORCE AND WITHDRAWAL

1. This compact enters into force and effect immediately upon its enactment into law by

any two states. Thereafter, it enters into force and effect as to any other state upon the

enactment thereof by such state.

2. This compact continues in force with respect to a party state and remains binding upon

such state until six months after such state has given notice to each other party state

of the repeal thereof. Such withdrawal may not be construed to relieve any party to a

library agreement entered into pursuant to this compact from any obligation of that

agreement prior to the end of its duration as provided therein.

ARTICLE XII - CONSTRUCTION AND SEVERABILITY

This compact must be liberally construed so as to effectuate the purposes thereof. The

provisions of this compact are severable and if any phrase, clause, sentence, or provision of this

compact is declared to be contrary to the constitution of any party state or of the United States

or the applicability thereof to any government, agency, person, or circumstance is held invalid,

the validity of the remainder of this compact and applicability thereof to any government,

agency, person, or circumstance is not affected thereby. If this compact is held contrary to the

constitution of any state party thereto, the compact must remain in full force and effect as to the

remaining states and in full force and effect as to the state affected as to all severable matters.
