The North Dakota Legislature concluded its first full week of the session, with 629 bills introduced and more expected. The deadline for introducing legislation is January 18 for the House of Representatives and January 23 for the Senate.
Three bills have garnered attention from the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) during this period.
HB 1146 proposes adding fertility health benefits to state employees' health insurance plans. This bill includes a provision for studying the impacts of such coverage, with the potential for future legislation to mandate it across all state-issued health plans after two years.
HB 1158 aims to establish a flat tax rate of 1.5% on personal income taxes in North Dakota. Additionally, it seeks to eliminate income taxes for individuals earning less than $44,725 and married couples earning less than $74,750.
SB 2140 requires coverage for diabetes drugs and supplies under both state and private health insurance plans within North Dakota.
Another bill, SB 2066, focuses on providing property tax relief by increasing state funding for school districts while reducing local contributions.
