  • End of Year Report
    Overview: 2019 State Legislative Activity Every year, the traffic safety community works to eliminate fatalities on our roadways and supports policies to achieve that goal. In 2018, traffic deaths declined 2.4% according to The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA, 2019). Still, 36,560 people died on our roadways. Alcohol-impaired driving deaths accounted for 29% of all traffic fatalities, the lowest percentage since NHTSA began reporting fatality data in 1982 and a 3.6% reduction from 2017. Despite this progress, these deaths are preventable. More must be done to stop them. This is especially true regarding the critical threat posed by high-risk impaired drivers (repeat offenders, drivers at high blood alcohol concentrations (.15>), drive impaired repeatedly, or drive after consuming a combination of alcohol and drugs or multiple drugs). They must be screened and assessed for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders to eliminate impaired driving in the future. Responsibility.org offers technical assistance and guidance to state legislators and local coalitions working to strengthen and enforce existing laws. We advocate for proven countermeasures to eliminate impaired driving and reduce underage drinking. We promote evidence-based strategies to create deterrence, reduce recidivism, improve treatment outcomes, and create long-term behavior change. Figure 1: Alcohol-impaired driving fatalities 1982-2018 The 2019 legislative session was dominated by technical corrections or minor modifications to existing laws. Since many states have enacted major DUI legislation, recent efforts have focus improving implementation and/or enforcement of existing laws. To date, Responsibility.org has identified nearly 200 pieces of impaired driving and underage drinking legislation in 46 states.

  • 2021 FPA-ND Legislative Scorecard
    2021 NORTH DAKOTA LEGISLATIVE REPORT CARD 67th LEGISLATIVE SESSION ABOUT THE SCORECARD We are pleased to share this scorecard for the 2021 North Dakota state legislative session. This is a snapshot of how lawmakers voted on key social and moral legislation related to life, education, family, religious freedom, and similar issues. Guided by our mission of building a state where God is honored, religious freedom flourishes, families thrive, and life is cherished, the scorecard focuses on seven bills. This scorecard is not an endorsement of any candidate or political party. It does not measure any lawmakers’ integrity, commitment to their faith, work ethic, or rapport with Family Policy Alliance of North Dakota. It is only a report on how each lawmaker voted. Please continue to hold our legislators accountable for their voting records and please pray that they may always vote in ways that uphold your biblical values as they make important decisions for our state. Sincerely, Mark Jorritsma Executive Director, Family Policy Alliance of North Dakota HOW WE FIGURED THE GRADES A bill is typically passed by a simple majority in the Senate (24 votes out of 47 senators) and the House (48 votes out of 94 Representatives.) Lawmakers earned percentage grades ranging from 0% to 100%, based upon dividing the candidate’s number of good votes cast by the number of total bills he/she voted on. The higher the score, the better their ranking. Not all lawmakers voted on every bill; the number of absences on these key bills is also noted and we encourage you to review whether your legislator actually voted on these important bills.

For the record, I am John Harris, President and CEO of Prairie Public Broadcasting.

Prairie Public provides public media services that educate, involve, and inspire the people of the prairie region. Public media strengthens communities and helps them to prosper. The citizens of North Dakota know the importance of a strong and viable public broadcasting entity for our community.

Here is a snapshot of how lawmakers voted on key social and moral legislation related to the right to life, education, family, marriage and other issues. Guided by our mission of building a state where God is honored, religious liberty flourishes, families thrive, and life is cherished, this report card focuses on seven bills/resolutions (hereafter collectively called bills) in the North Dakota Senate and House of Representatives during the 2019 Legislative Session. All these are included in this report card. A bill is passed by a simple majority in the Senate (24 votes out of 47 senators) and the House (48 votes out of 94 Representatives.) Lawmakers earned percentage grades ranging from 0% to 100%, based on how they voted on the relevant bills coming before their chamber. This report card is not an endorsement of any candidate or political party. It does not measure any lawmakers’ integrity, commitment to their faith, work ethic, or rapport with Family Policy Alliance of North Dakota. It is only a report on how each lawmaker voted. One of the most common questions people ask is, “How did my legislator vote?” This report card should help you answer that question.
