What North Dakota asks of a business with a website

N.D.C.C. ch. 51-30 (Notice of Security Breach for Personal Information), § 51-30-02
• North Dakota’s state sales tax rate is 5% for most retail sales, and cities and counties may levy their own sales and use taxes on top of it. North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner
