BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s House has killed a bill that would have repealed North Dakota’s longstanding Sunday business restrictions.
The bipartisan measure aimed at lifting the state’s so-called blue laws was narrowly defeated 50-44 on Monday.
The National Conference of State Legislatures says about a dozen states have some form of Sunday sales laws, but only North Dakota prohibits shopping on Sunday morning.
North Dakota residents can order alcohol at a restaurant or bar late Sunday morning but must wait until afternoon to go shopping because of the ban that’s rooted in religious tradition.
North Dakota law once required most businesses to stay closed on Sundays. It was changed in 1985 to allow grocery stores to open.
The Legislature in 1991 allowed most businesses to open on Sundays but not before noon.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — A traveler accused of making a bomb threat at Grand Forks International Airport has been arrested on possible terror charges.
Police say officers were called to the airport Saturday after the man made the threats to airport employees. The man was traveling from Grand Forks to Minneapolis.
The airport was evacuated and a Grand Forks regional bomb squad checked the man’s luggage. Investigators determined there was no further threat and the airport was re-opened. Police say the man’s motive is still under investigation, but say he may have gotten upset with airport staff.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s two largest universities have cautioned their international students not to travel due to President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration.
Trump’s move temporarily bars refugees and citizens of seven predominantly Muslim nations from entering the U.S. The order has sparked widespread protest.
North Dakota State University late last week emailed students from the seven countries, urging them to meet with an adviser if they have plans to travel outside the U.S. The email says, “most likely, it will be recommended you do not leave.”
The University of North Dakota in a weekend Facebook post cautioned international students not to travel, “even to Canada.”
UND International Programs Director Katie Davidson said in an interview that international staff and faculty also are being urged to stay put.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — The National Weather Service’s first flood outlook of the season says the risk of spring flooding in the Souris River Valley is higher than normal, especially downstream of Minot.
The Minot Daily News reports that more snow and rain could increase the flooding risks, but the chance of flooding lessens if current weather continues.
Allen Schlag is a hydrologist for the weather service in Bismarck. He says the outlook numbers are high for this time of year but notes he’s seen higher numbers in past years.
Schlag says potentially problematic areas for Minot are in the lower reaches of the Souris River, home to the heaviest snowpack.
The outlook estimates a 50 percent chance of the river rising to 1,550.2 feet. Flood stage for the city is 1,551 feet.

The 92-year-old Bush was released Monday from Houston Methodist Hospital where he received treatment for pneumonia. Family spokesman Jim McGrath says Bush has been allowed to go home.
Bush was experiencing breathing difficulties when he was admitted Jan. 14. During his treatment, which included a stay in intensive care, doctors inserted a breathing tube and connected the nation’s 41st president to a ventilator.
McGrath says Bush is thankful for the prayers and kind messages he’s received and for the “world-class care” from doctors and nurses at the hospital.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A spokesman for Barack Obama says the former president “fundamentally disagrees” with discrimination that targets people based on their religion. The statement alluded to but did not specifically mention President Donald Trump’s temporary ban on travel from several Muslim-majority countries. The White House says the ban isn’t a Muslim ban because dozens of Muslim-majority countries aren’t affected. Obama spokesman Kevin Lewis says Obama is “heartened” by the amount of engagement being seen across the country. Obama has said he plans to give Trump room to govern but would speak out if Trump violates basic U.S. values.
NEW YORK (AP) — Major Wall Street banks are speaking out against President Donald Trump’s travel ban. Citigroup CEO Mike Corbat said the company is concerned about the message the executive order sends. At Goldman Sachs, which has several former executives in the Trump administration, CEO Lloyd Blankfein said the ban has the potential to disrupt the firm. Executives at those and other banks say Trump’s order could unsettle their operations, break up families, and hurt the banks’ ability to do business outside the U.S.
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The head of the U.N. refugee agency estimates that some 20,000 people could have been resettled in the United States during President Donald Trump’s 120-day suspension on admitting refugees. The office of the U.N.’s High Commissioner for Refugees says he is “deeply worried by the uncertainty” faced by thousands of refugees in the process of being resettled in the U.S.
