North Dakota Century Code Title 6. Banks and Banking § 6-08.1-07. Cost reimbursement

Any governmental agency, law enforcement agency, or person requiring or requesting access to customer information shall pay to the financial institution that assembles or provides the customer information a fee for reimbursement of reasonably necessary costs which have been directly incurred by the financial institution. A financial institution must deliver the customer information sought as soon as reasonably possible notwithstanding any dispute concerning the amount of reimbursement due under this section. A separate action may be maintained by the financial institution against the governmental agency, law enforcement agency, or person requesting access for recovery of reasonable reimbursement. The financial institution may not charge the state auditor for customer information requested when performing an audit; however, the financial institution may charge the entity being audited by the state auditor for the information requested.
