FUNDING:

House Bill 1324

Determination of State Aid Payable to School Districts and Regional Education Associations; Transportation Grants

Position: Supported

Outcome: Passed House 80-10, Passed Senate 45-0 - Win

HB 1324 is the K-12 policy bill for schools in North Dakota. Thanks to the passage of Measure 2 in the fall

of 2016, lawmakers repeatedly said they were able to hold K-12 harmless ($2.3 billion budget) during the

upcoming biennium. The per pupil payment remains the same at $9646. It also includes yearly audits for

REA’s, keeps in lieu of tax payment the same (there is a study) and provides millions for transportation.

House Bill 1361

Limitation on Levies without Voter Approval

Position: Opposed

Outcome: Passed House 58-32, Failed Senate 0-46 - Win

HB 1361 was introduced by House Majority Leader Al Carlson (R-41) and attempted to cap property tax

assessments at 3% each year unless it goes to a public vote. At its initial hearing, school superintendents

lined up to testify against it along with NDU President Nick Archuleta. Schools were removed from the bill

and it was amended multiple times before ultimately being killed in the Senate.

House Bill 1382

Establishment of Education Savings Accounts/Vouchers

Position: Opposed

Outcome: Passed House 72-17, Failed Senate 14-32 - Win

HB 1382 would have used public tax dollars for non-public education. NDU President Nick Archuleta

testified vehemently against this cookie-cutter bill crafted outside of North Dakota. Ultimately, the House

Education Committee turned this bill into a study before ultimately being defeated in the Senate.

Senate Bill 2194

Payment for Early Childhood Education Programs

Position: Supported

Outcome: Failed Senate 9-35 - Loss

SB 2194 would have provided state payments for schools that offered ECE (Pre-K) programs at $94

million over the upcoming biennium from the general fund and $94 million from school districts. The

formula provided payment at 0.5 per student. The bill did not require Pre-K programs be implemented in

districts that do not offer them. The state has never funded ECE programs and the bill was quickly killed in

the Senate.

Senate Bill 2250

Early Childhood Education Programs

Position: Supported

Outcome: Division A Failed House 44-47 - Loss

Passed Senate 47-0, Passed House 81-8 - Win

SB 2250 provides early childhood education to children throughout the state. NDU testified in support of

this bill, with President Archuleta saying, “research overwhelmingly indicates that young learners who

experience early childhood education are far more likely to experience long-lasting success throughout

their academic careers. That success leads to the likelihood that the student will graduate college, work,

or military ready.” And while NDU continues to support universal Pre-K, and recognize there was another

bill out there, we believe 2250 is the vehicle to move this vital service. Division A in the House lowered the

age a child could begin early childhood education from four years of age to three years, and was defeated

in the House.

GOVERNANCE:

House Bill 1436

PERS Governance Changes

Position: Opposed

Outcome: Passed House 71-19, Failed Senate 0-47 - Win

HB 1436 was a delayed bill introduced right before Crossover that attempted to move PERS to a self-

insured program from a self-funded program. The bill also mandated for the health insurance contract to be

rebid every two years.

Senate Bill 2030

NDU Statutory References

Position: Supported

Outcome: Passed House 76-14, Passed Senate 46-0 - Win

SB 2030 began as a clean-up bill to update language in Century Code from “North Dakota Education

Association” to “North Dakota United.” President Nick Archuleta testified in support of the majority of this

bill, but against a section that would have removed an NDU member from the Board of Directors of the

Teacher Fund for Retirement (TFFR). We are happy to report the language has been updated and we have

maintained our membership on the TFFR board.

HIGHER ED:

House Bill 1264

Non-Resident Tuition Rates

Position: Opposed

Outcome: Failed House 38-53 - Win

HB 1264 would have set tuition rates for non-resident students at a higher, fixed rate. For instance, the bill

called for at least 115 percent of the resident tuition rate for nonresident students from the state of

Minnesota. We believe with tight budgets across the University System, passing this bill would make it more

difficult to enroll.

House Bill 1265

Number of Non-Resident Students Admitted to SIHE under Reciprocity

Position: Opposed

Outcome:  Failed House 26-65 - Win

HB 1265 would have set limits on the number of non-resident students admitted to the North Dakota

University System by percentage through the year 2025-26, based on the number or resident students

admitted. Again, we believe this bill would have limited out-of-state student enrollment in the North Dakota

University System, and with tight budgets we believe that is a mistake.

RIGHTS:

House Bill 1246

State Employee Claims of Discrimination

Position: Supported

Outcome: Passed House 65-25, Failed Senate 8-39 - Loss

HB 1246, introduced by Rep. George Keiser (R-47), called for a streamlining the grievance process by

allowing an employee to bypass his or her supervisor and go to the Department of Labor and Human

Rights or the Federal Equal Opportunity Employment Commission. The employee also would have had the

right to waive the employer's and division's grievance processes, and take the case to district court.

House Bill 1386

Anti-Discrimination on the Basis of Sexual Orientation

Position: Supported

Outcome: Failed House 22-69 - Loss

HB 1386 sought to add sexual orientation to the reasons for which people cannot be discriminated against,

in employment and in housing. NDU always sides with equality and fairness, and against discrimination of

any kind, especially in employment.

House Bill 1401

Collective Bargaining for Law Enforcement Officers and Paid Full-time Firefighters

Position: Supported

Outcome: Failed House 19-75 - Loss

HB 1401 would have provided collective-bargaining rights for law-enforcement officers and full-time

firefighters. The parties would negotiate in good faith regarding the terms and conditions of employment

and employer-employee relations. Law enforcement and full-time firefighters would not have been able to

strike under the agreement.

Senate Bill 2135

Initiated & Referred Measure Study Commission

Position: Opposed

Outcome: Passed Senate 31-14, Passed House 71-19 – Loss

SB 2135 created an initiated and referred measure commission to study the current measure laws of North

Dakota. NDU worked diligently to get ourselves added to this committee to allow us to ensure that the

people’s voice continued to be heard through future initiated and referred measure processes. While NDU

was not listed directly in the legislation, NDU President Nick Archuleta was appointed to the committee by

Governor Burgum.

Senate Bill 2336

Contributions to and Expenditures of Campaigns for Initiated or Referred Measures

Position: Opposed

Outcome: Failed Senate 5-38 – Win

SB 2336 relates to contributions to and expenditures of campaigns for initiated or referred measures. It

would have limited the ability to spend NDU resources on initiated and referred measures in the future.

SAFETY:

House Bill 1310

Guns in Schools

Position: Opposed

Outcome: Passed House 73-19, Failed Senate 18-27 - Win

HB 1310 would have provided a pilot program for first armed responders at up to 10 schools in North

Dakota. NDU opposed the bill on a variety of fronts including the fact that no schools testified in support of

the bill in either House or Senate committee. Several schools testified against the bill during its initial

hearing in the House. Secondly, our polling showed the majority of our members opposed the idea.

Thirdly, while NDU does support highly trained School Resource Officers (SRO’s) or retired law

enforcement in schools, we do not support anyone else with limited training carrying concealed in our

schools.

SALARY/BENEFITS:

House Bill 1023

PERS Budget

Position: Opposed amendments

Outcome: Passed House 80-8, Passed Senate 30-15 - Loss

This is the budget bill for PERS. However, throughout the session a number of policy amendments were

added to it by House Majority Leader Al Carlson (R-41). The most significant amendment was a proposed

mandatory rebid on health insurance in two years. Carlson also proposed a new legislative committee

dealing with health care coverage. The House and Senate came to a last minute agreement on the bill

which appeared to be a big win for Carlson. However, Governor Doug Burgum vetoed the sections dealing

with the rebid and health care committee. The bottom line for public employees is that your health

insurance won’t change in the next two years outside of increases in co-pays and deductibles.

House Bill 1168

Restricting Compensation & Travel for Public Employee’s Attendance at Legislative Meetings

Position: Opposed

Outcome: Failed House 5-86 - Win

HB 1168 was a bill introduced by Representative Rick Becker (R-7) to restrict compensation and travel

reimbursement for public employees to attend legislative hearings and meetings. The bill never gained any

traction and drew the ire of public employees and overwhelmingly failed in the House.

Senate Bill 2037

Teacher Shortage Loan Forgiveness Programs

Position: Supported

Outcome: Passed Senate 46-0, Passed House 67-25 - Win

This is a significant teacher loan forgiveness bill that merged SB 2243 into SB 2037 to come out with a

product that will incentivize new teachers to work in rural school districts, fill critical need positions in both

rural and non-rural districts and help to make sure our students have a teacher in their classroom. The

program will help erase student loan debt for new teachers. In fact, an educator filling a critical need area

in a remote school district for a maximum of four years could earn $24,000 of loan forgiveness. On the

other end of the spectrum, filling a critical need position in a non-rural school district over the same four-

year period could equate to a maximum of $12,000 in loan forgiveness.

TEACHING & LEARNING:

House Bill 1432

Duties of the Superintendent of the Department of Public Instruction

Position: Opposed

Outcome: Division A Failed House 27-62, Division B Failed House 10-78 - Win

HB 1432 was introduced as an anti-Common Core bill that would limit the power of the Supt. of Public

Instruction, erase new standards written for North Dakota students by more than 70 North Dakota

educators over the last two years, and replace those with over a decade old standard from

Massachusetts. In an attempt to get part of the bill passed, the sponsor split it in two on the House floor.

Both sections failed.

Senate Bill 2180

Intent to Refuse Federal Education Funding Tied to Federal Mandates

Position: Opposed

Outcome: Failed Senate 3-43 - Win

SB 2180 was a misguided attempt to refuse federal funding for local school districts. What the bill sponsor

didn’t know was that school districts can already refuse federal funding but still must follow federal

mandates. We testified against this bill citing the loss of revenue to school districts that would have to be

made up by taxpayers.

Senate Bill 2186

Education Innovation

Position: Supported

Outcome: Passed Senate 43-1, Passed House 75-17 - Win

SB 2186 allows local school districts to submit plans, approved by local school boards, to the Department

of Public Instruction for waivers to allow for innovation in the classroom. It’s worth noting the plan would

also need support from parents, community members, teachers and staff. The bill, which is a pilot

program, has unanimous support from education associations, the Department of Public Instruction and

multiple school districts who are waiting to submit plans for approval. SB 2186 will allow locals to

customize learning, and then measure and report successes.
