North Dakota Open Records Statute
NDCC 44-04-18 et seq
The North Dakota Open Records Statute is a series of laws designed to guarantee that the public has access to public records of governmental bodies. North Dakota law defines records as, "recorded information of any kind, regardless of the physical form or characteristic by which the information is stored, recorded, or reproduced, which is in the possession or custody of a public entity or its agent and which has been received or prepared for use in connection with public business or contains information relating to public business.”
Anyone can request public records and no statement of purpose is required. There are no restrictions placed on the use of records nor is a response time specified.
