North Dakota Energy Resilience and Local Production Act

This bill establishes the North Dakota Energy Resilience Program to coordinate expedited, one-stop permitting for locally owned oil, natural gas, and wind projects, while preserving all applicable environmental, safety, and land-use requirements. The program shall identify critical infrastructure, including hospitals, emergency services, water systems, and communications facilities, and require covered operators and utilities to maintain emergency fuel and power reserves sufficient to support essential operations during a prolonged outage or supply disruption. The responsible state agencies shall publish implementation standards, reserve requirements, and emergency reporting procedures within one year of enactment.
