Does Amended Administrative Order 27 regarding evictions overrule Section 4024 of the CARES Act regarding rental properties with federal assistance or federally related financing?

Administrative Order 27 addresses whether North Dakota courts are available to adjudicate a certain type of civil proceeding, in this case residential evictions.  The Order does not attempt to address limitations imposed by other law(s) on any person seeking to terminate North Dakota leases.
