The law creates an immigration law clinic at the University of North Dakota School of Law. The school must employ one full-time staff attorney, with no more than 60 matters open at once. Services and related legal work can be done remotely to meet client needs. The school may charge small fees as needed to operate the clinic. The law provides up to $400,000 in one-time funding for July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027. This money comes from otherwise uncommitted Strategic Investment and Improvements Fund money, through an Office of Management and Budget grant. The school must report to the 70th Legislative Assembly on school impacts, fee-based sustainability, student participation counts and hours. Its report must also cover businesses, employers and individuals seeking help, their locations, and the work requested. It must describe development obstacles, future challenges, plans to address them, and any recommended legislative changes.
