N.D. Cent. Code § 4.1-11-11: Assessment

If a federal assessment under the Soybean Promotion, Research, and Consumer Information Act [Pub. L. 101-624; 104 Stat, 3881; 7 U.S.C. 92 et seq.] or a similar act remains in place, a state assessment under this section is prohibited. If the Soybean Promotion, Research, and Consumer Information Act [Pub. L. 101-624; 104 Stat, 3881; 7 U.S.C. 92 et seq.] or similar act eliminates a federal assessment, the council shall implement a state assessment equaling one-half of one percent of the value of the sale must be imposed upon all soybeans sold to a designated handler.
