N.D. Cent. Code § 23-28-04

Duty of medical practitioner

Known as the Uniform Duties to Disabled Persons Act

The act spans §§ 23–23 (9 sections).

1. A medical practitioner, in discharging the medical practitioner's duty to a disabled person whom the medical practitioner has undertaken to examine or treat, shall make a reasonable search for an identifying device or identification card of the type described in subsection 2 of section 23-28-02 and examine them for emergency information.

2. A claim for relief against a medical practitioner does not arise from the practitioner making a reasonable search of a disabled person to locate an identifying device or identification card, even though the person is not wearing an identifying device or carrying an identification card.
