BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — People caught with a small amount of marijuana will no longer face jail time. Vehicles may be left unattended and idling, but pets can’t be passed off as service animals. And North Dakotans for the first time since statehood will be able to shop on Sunday mornings.

The changes are among hundreds of new state laws that take effect Thursday, representing the work of the 2019 Legislature.

Most prominent is one that repeals the nation’s toughest Sunday business restrictions — rules that are rooted in religious tradition and that have been in place since statehood.

North Dakota has had “blue laws” restricting business on Sunday since it became a state in 1889. They stemmed from fears that visiting a retail store on Sunday morning would compete with church and leave little time for rest.

Gov. Doug Burgum also signed the state’s first abortion laws in six years, both of which take effect Thursday but are facing legal challenges. One requires abortion providers to inform women undergoing drug-induced abortions that if they changed their minds, they could still have a live birth — a claim critics argue isn’t supported by medical evidence and forces doctors to lie.

The other makes it a crime for a doctor performing a second-trimester abortion to use instruments such as clamps, scissors and forceps to remove the fetus from the womb.

Another new law passed by North Dakota’s GOP-led Legislature no longer makes possession of up to half an ounce of marijuana a criminal misdemeanor. It now is considered an infraction that carries up to a $1,000 fine.

Legislation now more clearly defines that it’s illegal to tamper with “critical infrastructure,” which includes everything from pipelines to cellphone towers to drinking water sources.

Violators face up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine, with fines escalating to $100,000 for an organization found to have conspired with multiple people.

Another new law amends the state’s Depression-era anti-corporate farming law by allowing second cousins in the mix of ownership. The law dates to 1932, when it was put on the ballot as an initiated measure and approved by voters. It allows corporations with as many as 15 shareholders to own farms or ranches, as long as the shareholders are related.

Beginning Thursday, court records of convicted drunken drivers may be sealed if they aren’t charged with another DUI or any other crime for seven years. Backers of the law say it aims to give convicted drunken drivers who stay out of trouble better odds of getting a job. The law does not apply to licensed commercial drivers.

A new law requires school bus drivers to complete a defensive driving course within a year of being hired and once every five years afterword.

New legislation increases the age of children who can be held responsible for breaking the law. Until Thursday, state law says children under the age of 7 are presumed incapable of committing a crime. Beginning Thursday the age is 10.

The definition of “bullying” changes Thursday, to include conduct received or sent through electronic devices if certain criteria are met. The bill requires schools to adopt a policy that includes police notification if there is suspicion a bullying-related crime occurred on or off school district property.

North Dakotans on Thursday will be allowed to take an opened bottle of wine from a restaurant even if a meal was not purchased, as long as it is resealed by the business.

In other booze news, microbrew pubs may no longer sell more than 288 ounces of beer daily to a customer for off-premises consumption. That’s 4½ growlers.

On Thursday, meat will be defined in North Dakota as the edible flesh of an animal born and harvested for the purpose of human consumption. The legislation makes it illegal to represent “cell-cultured protein products” as the real thing.

Another new law makes it illegal to pass a pet off as a service animal. Do it and face a fine up to $1,000.

It won’t be illegal anymore to leave a vehicle idling while no one is in it. The anti-idling law was put on the books nearly 75 years ago as a deterrent against automobile theft but it has been almost universally ignored by North Dakotans in the winter.
