BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Legislation aimed at changing North Dakota’s private property posting laws may come back before lawmakers in 2021.
The Bismarck Tribune reports the Legislature’s interim Natural Resources Committee heard information Monday related to trespass violations and electronic land posting in its first meeting.
Land is considered open in North Dakota unless it is posted for no trespassing. Legislation failed last session that sought to reform posting of and hunting access on private land.
Instead, lawmakers decided more study was needed on the so-called “trespass bill.”
The 14-person committee includes agriculture landowners, representatives of sportsmen groups, and North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring and Terry Steinwand, director of the state Game and Fish Department.

Update….
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A ban on most abortions at or after eight weeks of pregnancy won’t take effect as scheduled in Missouri.
U.S. District Judge Howard Sachs on Tuesday issued an order temporarily blocking the law as a lawsuit against it plays out in court. The law had been scheduled to take effect Wednesday. Attorneys for the state can appeal Sachs’ decision.
The abortion ban includes exceptions for medical emergencies for the mother, but there are no exceptions for rape or incest.
Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri argue the law is unconstitutional and goes against the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion nationwide.
Similar laws have been struck down in North Dakota and Iowa.
Update…
NEW YORK (AP) — More than a dozen women who call themselves survivors have spoken out in court about sexual abuse they say they’ve suffered at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein.
The emotional two-and-a-half-hour testimony Tuesday came weeks after the 66-year-old financier killed himself in a New York jail cell while awaiting his sex trafficking trial.
The extraordinary court hearing was called by the judge presiding over Epstein’s trial. He set the hearing after prosecutors asked that he scrap charges against Epstein since the defendant is dead.
Many of the women said this was the closest they’d come to getting their day in court.
Most remained composed but several cried as they described falling into Epstein’s web.
His death left some of them angry, others sad and one of them described her relief that he was gone and could abuse no others.
GREENWOOD, Mississippi (AP) — A famed Catholic religious order recently settled two sex abuse cases by secretly paying two black Mississippi men $15,000 each and requiring them to keep silent about their claims.
The payments are far less than what other sex abuse survivors have typically received since the American Catholic Church’s abuse scandal erupted in 2002, including a 2018 settlement in which the St. Paul-Minneapolis archdiocese paid an average of nearly $500,000 each to clergy abuse survivors.
An official with the Franciscan order denies the men’s race or poverty had anything to do with the size of the settlements.
“We’ve hurt them tremendously and no amount of money would ever account for what happened to them,” said the Rev. James G. Gannon, the leader of a Wisconsin-based group of Franciscan Friars.
JACUNDA NATIONAL FOREST, Brazil (AP) — Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is criticizing his country’s indigenous protection policies, which he says are used by outside forces to limit Brazil’s economy and give excessive amounts of land to tribes.
Bolsonaro met Tuesday with governors of states in the Amazon region to discuss the fires in the region and listened to them complaining about indigenous reserves, saying they impede development.
Bolsonaro said that “many reserves are located strategically” and said “someone arranged this.”
He didn’t specify what outside forces might be involved.
The president said that indigenous peoples “don’t speak our language, but they have managed to get 14% of our national territory” and he added, “One of the intentions of this is to impair us.”
Bolsonaro has repeatedly pushed for opening more indigenous lands for agriculture and mining, saying it would benefit the people living there.
CAIRO (AP) — Libya’s coast guard says it has retrieved at least five bodies from a boat carrying dozens of Europe-bound migrants that capsized in the Mediterranean Sea.
Coast guard spokesman Ayoub Gassim told The Associated Press that at least 65 migrants were rescued on Tuesday, and that search operations are underway for those still missing off the western Libyan town of Khoms.
The U.N. migration agency says there were children among those who drowned.
Alarm Phone, an independent support group for people crossing the Mediterranean, says up to 100 migrants were on board the capsized vessel.
Libya became a major conduit for African migrants and refugees fleeing to Europe after the uprising that toppled and killed Moammar Gadhafi in 2011. Traffickers and armed groups have exploited Libya’s chaos since his overthrow.
