The North Dakota Legislature wrapped up their first full week of session today. There are currently 629 bills that have been introduced with hundreds more expected in the coming weeks. Members of the House of Representatives have until January 18th to introduce legislation while the deadline in the Senate is January 23.   Three bills of particular interest to NFIB had hearings this week.   HB 1146 – would add fertility health benefits to the health insurance plan for state employees.
