## Full section analysis

The North Dakota Attorney General's Gaming Division administers the state's charitable-gaming licensing regime, covering organization licenses and manufacturer-distributor licenses under the statutory framework enforced against the Article XI, Section 25 constitutional prohibition. This cycle's material development is administrative rather than legal: all charitable-gaming license applications and renewals are transitioning to a new online system launching in April 2026, with online filing becoming mandatory from fiscal year 2027 and online tax-return filing mandatory from July 1, 2026. This is a fragile, process-level change -- an operational shift in how the Gaming Division administers filings -- rather than a durable amendment to the licence classes, eligibility criteria, or statutory basis of the charitable-gaming regime itself. The underlying licence-class structure, distinct from tribal Class II/III compact gaming, remains unchanged this cycle.
