2023 ND LGBTQ+ Bill Tracker

BREAKING NEWS!! TAKE ACTION NOW! Sustain Governor Burgum's Veto!

2023 ND LGBTQ+ Legislative Tracker
This is a scary time for LGBTQ+ individuals in North Dakota. No matter what happens in the legislation, the most protective factor for LGBTQ+ individuals is their friends and family (chosen or otherwise). Be kind to yourself, check in and be kind to your loved ones. 2-1-1 is a number anyone in North Dakota can call for just support. We also have 9-8-8 for emergency (Automated system plays, hit 3 for LGBTQ+ youth!) and Trevor Project for help. North Dakota is not hopeless, we can survive anything that happens this year and work for a better future starting now. ​

Notes
  • Each bill is significantly more complex than a few words - please read them
  • Bills need to pass both House and Senate
  • Bills that pass one chamber, move to the next chamber and the whole process starts over (this is called cross-over)
  • Bills are not law until the governor signs them (and they uphold a court challenge)
