The AML Program was established to enable the states and tribes to protect their citizens from the dangerous and costly impacts of coal mines left unreclaimed prior to SMCRA. The AML fee that funds the AML Program will expire September 30, 2021, unless Congress reauthorizes legislation to extend it. The Public Service Commission administers the Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) Program on behalf of the State of North Dakota. A federal fee on coal production funds the AML Program. Our funding has been used exclusively to reclaim high priority abandoned coal mines and our administrative costs have remained low. The federal Office of Surface Mining has consistently commended the North Dakota PSC for its efficient and effective AML Program. The attached Fact Sheet summarizes our AML program and accomplishments. Some of our most important AML work has been stabilizing undermined roads and residential areas.

Two provisions of North Dakota Senate Bill 2231 (SB 2231) are at issue in this case. The first prohibits air ambulance providers from directly billing out-of-network insured patients for any amount not paid for by their insurers (the payment provision). N.D. Cent. Code § 26.1-47-09(3). The second prohibits air ambulance providers or their agents from selling subscription agreements (the subscription provision). N.D. Cent. Code § 26.1-47-08. Guardian Flight LLC filed this declaratory judgment action, claiming that both provisions are preempted under the Airlines Deregulation Act (ADA). Defendants Jon Godfread, in his capacity as North Dakota Insurance Commissioner, and Wayne Stenehjem, in his capacity as North Dakota Attorney General, responded that, even if preempted, the provisions were saved under the McCarran-Ferguson Act.
