Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Counties receive half of chemical fees
North Dakota's homeland security division must send half of regular hazardous chemical fees to county chemical preparedness and response accounts. Each county treasurer holds an account to fund the county's program. County accounts can also receive county, federal, and state money, grants, and private donations. The law creates a restricted state fund supported by fee revenue and legislative funding; unused money carries forward. Every two years, lawmakers must appropriate state fund money to homeland security for federal chemical-safety duties and the state program.
Higher chemical fees for facility owners
Covered facility owners and operators pay annual fees for each chemical required on their federal Tier II inventory. Federal reporting rules and chemical thresholds apply. This replaces the flat $25 fee and raises the yearly facility cap from $475 to $950. Payment to North Dakota's homeland security division is due March 1. The director sets fees and can consider economic conditions and state funding available to cover program costs. Fee changes take effect January 1. Increases after January 1, 2026, cannot exceed $5 per chemical per year and require at least one year's notice. Family farms that do not sell hazardous chemicals at retail or wholesale are exempt, as are state- and local-government facilities. The state system does not replace city hazardous chemical fees.
Late chemical filings can cost facilities
North Dakota's homeland security director can charge facilities for late chemical reports or late fee payments. A late fee cannot exceed the hazardous chemical fee owed. After six months, further violations fall under the law's willful-violation rules. Even facilities exempt from regular fees can face late-report charges equal to the fee they would otherwise owe.
