Last checked October 29, 2026
North Dakota has no statewide outdoor lighting or dark-sky statute. The only recent action was Senate Concurrent Resolution 4004 (2025), a non-binding measure to declare a North Dakota Dark Sky Week, April 21 to 28, which failed on second reading in the Senate on January 24, 2025.
