He said the commission recommended five uniform Acts for introduction during the 2017 legislative session and is tentatively recommending one uniform Act. Because the state has a similar statute, he said, the commission is tentatively recommending the Uniform Power of Attorney Act. He said the commission members will consult with interested parties to determine whether to introduce the Uniform Power of Attorney Act, which seeks to preserve the durable power of attorney as a low-cost, flexible, and private form of surrogate decisionmaking while deterring use of the power of attorney as a tool for financial abuse of incapacitated individuals.

Minutes: 4 Attachments Vice-Chair Kreun: Opened the public hearing. Senator Jessica Unruh, District 33 (0:20-4:25) Introduced the bill, please see attachment #1, See attachment #2 for amendments. Representative Todd Porter, District 34 (4:50-) Testified in support. I am a co-sponsor of this bill. In 2009 session we worked on a bill that came to us at the request of the North Dakota Industrial Commission. It was during a time period where there was a definite war on coal fired generation. We were looking at the ability to sequester CO2, no other state had a law in place to do CO2 sequestering; we were looking, once the Supreme Court decided that CO2 was a perceived problem that needed to be dealt with; we needed to find a fix for our coal fired generation plants. We passed a bill that developed pore space for the injection of CO2. This bill, this system was not for anything other than the storage of CO2. It was to be piped out to areas where pore space existed, it was to be injected and stored. At some point, when it was determined to be filled, and certified by the NDIC, then the state of North Dakota would end up owning it in perpetuity, because of the liabilities that would exist, that it did stay with the surface.

    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.

  • 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.
