JUVENILE JUSTICE Chairman Armstrong called on Mr. Mike Borr, Director, University Police and Safety Office, North Dakota State University, for a presentation (Appendix B) relating to efforts to engage the community to keep North Dakota State University (NDSU) safe. In response to a question from Chairman Armstrong, Mr. Borr said the behavioral intervention team at NDSU identifies students who are having trouble in the classroom or exhibiting suicidal behavior and works to determine what may be causing the issue. He said the team understands the importance of confidentiality. In response to a question from Representative Meier, Mr. Borr said a student is not always aware the student is on the behavioral intervention team's radar. He said the team discusses whether a student's behavior rises to the level at which there is a definite need for intervention or a referral to the campus counseling center.

  • 2015 House Transportation Hb 1470
    2015 HOUSE TRANSPORTATION HB 1470 2015 HOUSE STANDING COMMITTEE MINUTES Transportation Committee Fort Totten Room, State Capitol HB 1470 2/5/2015 #23350 D Subcommittee Conference Committee cti'on of bill/resolution: A bill relating to physicals for school bus drivers. Minutes: Chairman Dan Ruby opened the hearing on HB 1470. Representative Kelsh, District 26, introduced HB 1470. He explained that a superintendent asked him to bring this bill forward. He stated that when schools require a bus driver to have a physical, often times the doctor will find something that may be wrong. At that point the person is referred to another doctor, such a specialist in a different town. Then the school is billed for all the medical costs, often a large amount. It happens more frequently because at this time it is very difficult to hire bus drivers, and older people are being hired. The schools would like the physicals to be billed to the person's insurance or Medicare with the remainder being paid by the school district. Representative Rick C. Becker: Is the patient going to the physician with paperwork from the school district? I can't imagine that a physician will bill an employer, rather than the insurance company. What makes this different, that a physician will send the bill to the employer instead of the insurance? Representative Kelsh: I don't know, except that the superintendent told me that they get the bill directly without it going to the insurance. Chairman Dan Ruby: My employees have to have physicals too. The bill does not go on the employee's health plan on Blue Cross; it comes to me right away.

Minutes: Testimony 1 , 2 , 3 ,4 , 5 & 6 Chairman N. Johnson: Opened the hearing on HB 1255. Rep. B. Thoreson: Introduced the bill. (Attorney General's opinion #1). This is where there was a question raised about the electronic fund transfer is the same thing as a check because checks need to be reported. Sen. Andrist made this request and you can read through the opinion, but if you read through the first page it says for the reasons indicated below it is my opinion that the requirements contained in 40-01-09. 1 do not include payments made by electronic fund transfer. This bill would make those reportable also. I think we live in a time where checks are probably going the way of dinosaurs in many ways. We use credit cards, internet purchases and we are going to be paying a lot with these. Soon we are going to be using your cell phone are increasing popular in other parts of the world and are rapidly coming to the US. I think we need this legislation to cover those types of payments also. Not just the traditional check payments. This does make the necessary changes and does cover county commissioners and school boards along with cities and I would ask for your support.

  • Quarterly Cannabis Report
    News April 22, 2021 Quarterly Cannabis Report The 117th Congress is shaping up to be the year for cannabis reform. As of April 2021, 47 states, four U.S. territories and the District of Columbia have legalized medical cannabis, recreational cannabis or both. Many of these efforts can be contributed to Steve Fox, a true pioneer of the legalization movement. Fox, managing partner of VS Strategies, and godfather of the industry, paved the path for nationwide legalization efforts and was instrumental in cannabis reform throughout the country for decades. He was one of the first to politically advocate on behalf of medical and recreational cannabis legalization, advance decriminalization measures and promote reform and social justice. As an educator and leader, Fox will be remembered for his wisdom, knowledge and kindness, and his voice, perspective and presence will be dearly missed. VS Strategies welcome the celebration of Fox’s life through the sharing of thoughts and memories, and asks for respect and privacy for his family, friends and co-workers who are still reeling from this loss. VS Strategies also started a GoFundMe page to support Fox’s wife and daughters as they navigate their way through this extremely difficult time— https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-the-family-of-steve-fox. FEDERAL CANNABIS PROPOSALS The SAFE Banking Act: On March 18, Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D-CO) reintroduced the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act. H.R.1996 that creates a safe harbor for financial institutions to provide traditional banking services to cannabis and cannabis-related businesses in states that have legalized the drug and allows cannabis and cannabis- related businesses to access traditional banking services like lines of credit, loans and wealth management.
