§ 54-03-23 — Century Code distributed to each legislator - Retention

Each member of the legislative assembly is entitled to receive a current set of the North
Dakota Century Code as provided in section 46-04-01. Upon the election of a member of the
legislative assembly, the secretary of state shall request of that member whether that member
wants to receive a set of the code under this section. The secretary of state shall deliver a set of
the code to each member who elects to receive a copy of the code. A legislator who elects to
receive a set of the code is entitled to current supplements and volumes as provided in section
46-04-03 to maintain the code during the legislator's service. The code received by a legislator
under this section is not subject to section 46-04-04. After a legislator's service in the legislative
assembly is terminated, the secretary of state shall inform the legislator that the legislator may
elect to retain the set of the code or to return the set at the expense of the secretary of state. If
the legislator elects to retain the set, the secretary of state shall inform the legislator how to
obtain a subscription to maintain the legislator's code.
