57-38.3-01. Legislative intent - Liberal construction

It is the intent of the legislative assembly to establish a policy and to provide a system

whereby all claimant agencies of the state of North Dakota, in conjunction with the

commissioner, shall cooperate in identifying debtors who owe money to the state through its

various claimant agencies and who qualify for refunds approved by the commissioner. It is also

the intent of this chapter to establish procedures for setting off against any such refund the sum

of any debt owed to the state. To this end, this chapter should be liberally construed.
