Gov. Burgum Signs “Andrew’s Law”

The bill clarifies the rights of people offered the role as a confidential drug informant

BISMARCK, N.D. — Gov. Burgum has signed “Andrew’s Law” to establish protections for confidential drug informants.

The action comes more than three years after 20-year-old college student Andrew Sadek was found dead in a river with a bullet in his head and a backpack of rocks tied to his body.

His parents lobbied lawmakers to pass legislation so that informants can be better informed of their legal options to understand the risks they may be taking.

The bill clarifies the rights of people offered the role as a confidential drug informant.
