Public Notice - FFY 2026 Annual Synar Report

The purpose of the Synar Survey is to randomly survey licensed tobacco retailers across North Dakota to check compliance with laws that prohibit the sale of tobacco products to minors. This is not an enforcement activity; it is a check on compliance. The Synar Survey has been conducted for the past 29 years. All 50 states and nine jurisdictions (American Samoa, District of Columbia, Guam, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, Palau, and the Virgin Islands) currently participate. 

Save the date: Help shape North Dakota’s child care rules!

The Early Childhood Licensing Unit, working with the Child Care Services Advisory Committee (created under House Bill 1119, 69th Legislative Assembly), is starting the process of reviewing and updating the rules for licensed child care providers.

We need your input!

Your feedback will help make the rules clearer, less complicated and better aligned with the needs of providers while keeping children safe and healthy. We want to hear about your challenges and ideas for improvement.
