Rep. Guggisberg testified as a sponsor of this bill. I was on the interim committee for employee benefits and we received a summary report of what the bill proposes to take out. We heard testimony that it is a 500-page report and there are departments that are spending 400 hours on it. It appears the 61 st legislative assembly found some improper use of these funds in a certain department and decided to have them report. It has caused a lot of work for departments that were outside of that agency. To get these funds first of all, they have to create a rule that has to go through the rules committee. These funds are tracked during our audits, both fiscal and performance audits. It seems like it is doing the same work twice. Rep. Ben Koppelman If your bill was passed, would these things still show up as a line item in other year end reports? Rep. Guggisberg The budgets I have seen so far in appropriations, these are not line items, but when the department is audited, it is something that they look at in the audit.

    2013 HOUSE JUDICIARY HB 1451 2013 HOUSE STANDING COMMITTEE MINUTES House Judiciary Committee Prairie Room, State Capitol HB 1451 January 29, 2013 Job 17903 D Conference Committee Explanation or reason for introduction of bill/resolution: The requirements for calling a grand jury. Subcommittee Minutes: Testimony 1 Chairman Koppelman opened the hearing. Aaron Burst, Association of Counties testified in support of the bill. I have a proposed amendment. The grand jury system in NO is not usable by state prosecutors primarily because of some language that I am suggesting changing. Rep. Delmore: Can you tell me why you are using a percent for the number of signatures needed instead of a required number? Burst: It is harder to use a numbers-basis due to population fluctuations. Rep. Paur: Is there a mechanism in the process now? Burst: In the case where the state's attorney refuses to do their job, there should be some sort of citizen's aspect. Rep. Kasper's bill leaves in a citizen component; it just changes the thresholds. Secondly, there are parts in the code already that allow the citizen to petition for failure to the state's attorney to do their duty. Rep. Klemin: Does the amendment refer to a grand jury procedure when a private citizen is the subject of the inquiry, whereas the bill covers conditions of public prisons in the county or misconduct of public officials? Are there two focuses on what the grand jury is to do? Burst: Correct. Rep. Klemin: Does the term public prisons include the state penitentiary in Burleigh County? Burst: It would have to include the Department of Corrections.

Minutes: Chairman Dever: Opened hearing on SB 2343. Jim Silrum, Deputy Secretary of State: See Attachment #1 for testimony in support and to explain the bill. (2:55)Chairman Dever: The deadline to file this is the Friday before the election? Jim Silrum: For certain offices, legislative offices, multi-countyoffices, city and school offices, that would be true, but for statewide offices it is 20 day prior and for judicial offices it is 20 days as well. Those are already in statute. Chairman Dever: If you don't file a form, then are your votes counted? Jim Silrum: They would be counted but they would not be a part of the official abstract because you haven't identified yourself as a specific candidate. Therefore, the votes for any write in candidate that is listed who had not filed a certificate of write in candidacy would be listed in the abstract as a scattered write in vote. What has prompted this over the course of time is that for some reason, we and county election officialsand others, are noticing an increase in fictitious names that are being placed on the ballot. There are a lot of people who want to simply vote for themselves because they don't like any of the candidates that are there on the ballot.

  • Learn Which Candidates We Supported in Your Community PFIZER PAC ~ OUR VOICE in the POLITICAL PROCESS a Message from Rich Bagger, Chairman Pfizer PAC
    PFIZER PAC & CORPORATE POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS REPORT 2005 – 2006 CYCLE Learn which candidates we supported in your community PFIZER PAC ~ OUR VOICE IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS A Message From Rich Bagger, Chairman Pfizer PAC Dear Colleagues: One of our five immediate priorities at Pfizer is to engage more actively and meaningfully with patients, doctors, payers, governments and other key stakeholders. We’re reaching out to these important groups and working harder to meet their needs. We're also working harder to engage all stakeholders in the dialogue on health policy and actively participate in the discussion over how to improve the quality of healthcare, access to medicines, and incentives for innovation. Pfizer PAC is one of the key ways in which we engage with candidates for public office. Through Pfizer PAC, we support candidates who understand the importance of innovative life sciences companies like Pfizer in fighting disease, improving health outcomes, and ensuring access to vital medicines. This report includes a list of candidates and political committees that Pfizer PAC supported during the 2005-06 election cycle. I hope you will take some time to review this report and see which candidates Pfizer PAC supported in your region. This was a successful year for Pfizer PAC. In the past election cycle, Pfizer PAC supported more than 2,277 candidates from both political parties, and at all levels of government. You, and Pfizer colleagues across America, definitely made a difference this past year through Pfizer PAC, by supporting candidates for public office who value access and innovation in healthcare. Thank you for your support—this report explains how Pfizer PAC put your generous contributions to use.

  • 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.
