Introduced by
Representative Rios
(Approved by the Delayed Bills Committee)
A concurrent resolution urging the Seventieth Legislative Assembly to consider enacting
mandatory reporting requirements for public officials.
WHEREAS, the protection of children and vulnerable populations is a fundamental
responsibility of government; and

responsibility to uphold justice and protect the vulnerable; and
WHEREAS, child exploitation, abuse, and trafficking are among the most heinous crimes;
and
WHEREAS, a public official who participates in, enables, or knowingly conceals child
exploitation has betrayed his or her oath of office, contributed to the destruction of innocent
lives, and allowed evil to thrive under the protection of power and privilege; and
WHEREAS, the concealment of and participation in child exploitation within governmental
institutions represents a severe breach of duty that demands heightened accountability,
including criminal penalties and permanent removal from public service;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF
NORTH DAKOTA, THE SENATE CONCURRING THEREIN:
That the Sixty-ninth Legislative Assembly urges the Seventieth Legislative Assembly to
consider enacting legislation to make public officials mandatory reporters.
