UNIFORM LAWS RECOMMENDATIONS Chairman Hogue called on Representative Klemin, Commissioner, North Dakota Commission on Uniform State Laws, for testimony regarding Recommendations of the North Dakota Commission on Uniform State Laws - 2017 Legislative Session. 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. -

2013 House Judiciary Hb 1451
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. -

2017 HOUSE AGRICULTURE • HB 1416 • 2017 HOUSE STANDING COMMITTEE MINUTES Agriculture Committee Peace Garden Room, State Capitol HB 1416 2/3/2017 Job #27899 D Subcommittee D Conference Committee Committee Clerk Signature a?-r?CU!...-- Explanation or reason for introduction of bill/resolution: Relating to the definition of cleaning out and repairing of drain. Minutes: achments 1-5 Representative Sebastian Ertelt, Sponsor: (Attachment 1) (6:25) Representative Skroch: In the clarification of the word "maintenance", what type of projects does it apply to? Representative Ertelt: The word "maintenance" is not found in this definition. The term is used within this chapter of law. Cleaning out and repairing would be maintenance. It talks about obstructions or sediment being cleaned out to get the drain to what it was originally. Representative Headland: "Not to exceed its original function." What does that mean? Are you trying to say you don't want more water moved than originally planned? What if deeper and wider is needed? Representative Ertelt: That is why design is included to what it was before. This language doesn't prohibit from widening or deepening a drain. If it is beyond the current design, the more formal process would need to be followed. Representative Headland: Your intention is to not allow any more development on a drain. It is limited to its original design Representative Ertelt: I am not one to prohibit progress. Widening and deepening may need to occur. If you are moving more water, than use the process. Representative Satrom: Do we have a problem with people widening and then causing problems for those downstream? Representative Ertelt: You will hear from some that are affected even though they are not downstream.
