Summary: The Political Subdivisions Committee met to reconsider Senate Bill 269, which concerns legal notices and newspaper publication requirements. Representative Motschenbacher explained that a prior version had a mistake in Section 2 and that the revised amendment, worked out with the Public Service Commission and the North Dakota Newspaper Association, would limit the change to state agencies rather than all governmental units because the broader version would have required thousands of affidavits and been too burdensome. The committee also discussed the meaning of “immediate publication,” with the newspaper association stating the intent was to post notices on the website as soon as a print notice is received, even before newspaper publication, so notices would still appear online if the print version was missed. Members raised questions about whether posting notices online before print publication could affect statutory notice periods, such as 30-day notice requirements. The response given was that the clock would begin when the notice is published on the agency website. After discussion, the committee adopted the amendment 11-0, with two members absent and not voting. The committee then approved Senate Bill 269 as amended and further amended on a 11-0 vote, again with two absent and not voting. Representative Motschenbacher agreed to carry the bill, though members noted it would likely go to a conference committee because of differences between the House and Senate versions. The chair thanked those who worked on the bill and adjourned the meeting.

Among the bills discussed was SB390, which seeks to expand the definition of historically underutilized businesses to include all veteran-owned businesses, regardless of disability status. This change aims to create a more equitable economic landscape for veterans and to foster their participation in state procurement opportunities. The committee heard strong testimony supporting this initiative, emphasizing the importance of providing veterans with fair chances in business development.

Bills: SB1272

Keywords: appropriation, Douglas port of entry, state funding, infrastructure, federal support, 1182, all

Summary: The Rural Economic Development Committee heard presentations focused first on local infrastructure needs in Legislative District 7, especially the East Wolford Road Extension project in Show Low. City and county officials said the road and new bridge would provide a critical alternate route around U.S. 60 and State Route 260, improve access to Summit Healthcare, reduce congestion, and create a safer evacuation path during wildfires or flooding. They emphasized that the project is fully designed and shovel-ready, with substantial local and developer funding already committed, and described past flooding and the Rodeo-Chediski Fire as evidence of the need for another emergency crossing. The committee then heard Senate Bill 1272, which appropriates $5 million from the state general fund in fiscal year 2027 as a match for the Douglas Port of Entry project, contingent on a federal GSA award. Senator Gallen, Douglas Mayor Jose Grijalva, and city staff described the project as a major trade, jobs, and border-security investment that would support a new commercial port and expansion of the existing Raul H. Castro Port of Entry. They said the project is intended to speed commerce, strengthen inspection and security, and leverage significant federal and private investment, while noting a funding deadline and a remaining local gap. During testimony, Douglas representatives said the city has already secured part of the required match, is pursuing additional federal and bank financing, and cannot easily raise the rest through local bonds because of time and tax-base limits. Members asked about timelines, private participation, and security impacts. The committee approved SB 1272 on a 6-0 vote, with one member absent, and the bill was returned with a do pass recommendation.

Bills: SB2160

Summary: The committee resumed work on Senate Bill 2160, which would move the Public Employees Retirement System health plan from grandfathered to non-grandfathered status under the Affordable Care Act. PERS officials Rebecca Frickie and Derek Holbein explained that the bill would allow more flexibility in plan design, including higher deductibles, co-pays, and out-of-pocket maximums, while also adding enhanced preventive benefits. They clarified that ACA “essential health benefits” apply to individual and small-group markets, not to PERS as a large employer, and that the bill’s projected cost increases were based on actuarial estimates and prior bid scenarios from Sanford and Blue Cross Blue Shield. Members debated whether the bill would actually save money or simply shift costs to employees. Supporters argued that non-grandfathered status would create more levers to manage medical inflation and could produce net premium savings through plan redesign, citing prior bid comparisons showing potential reductions of 1% to 8% depending on the option. Opponents, including Representative Schauer and North Dakota United president Nick Archelette, questioned how the state would pay for the estimated $25 million to $30 million in added benefits and warned that employees could face higher out-of-pocket costs amid already strained household budgets. Frickie said the legislature would control funding decisions and that current law requiring the state to pay full family premiums could be changed only by statute. The committee also discussed reserve funding, with members noting that a $4.3 million reserve draw in the bill was intended to cover the final months of the biennium and could be modified. After testimony and discussion, Vice Chair Johnson moved a do-pass recommendation and referral to Appropriations. The motion passed 10-3-1, with Representatives Ostlie, Schatz, and Schauer voting no. Representative Gump agreed to carry the bill.
