N.D. Cent. Code § 65-04-26
in effect65-04-26. Lien priority and filing - Remedies available in action for delinquent
premiums - Exemptions restricted.
The claim of the organization in bankruptcy, probate, insolvency, and receivership
proceedings for premiums in default and penalties is a lien with the same priority as prior
income tax liens, except that this lien is not enforceable against a purchaser, including a lien
creditor, of real estate or personal property for valuable consideration without notice. Notice of
this lien must be filed in the place and manner provided for in section 57-38-49. A certificate of
the organization that premiums and penalties are due for the period stated in the certificate is
prima facie evidence of this fact. In any action brought for the recovery of premiums in default
and penalties, the remedies of garnishment or attachment, or both, are available. No
exemptions except absolute exemptions under section 28-22-02 may be allowed against any
levy under execution pursuant to judgment recovered in the action.
