North Dakota Protection & Advocacy Project
Legislative
The 62nd Legislative Assembly convenes on Tuesday, January 4, 2011. It will consist of 47 Senators and 94 Representatives. The Senate Leadership includes the President (who is also the Lieutenant Governor), President Pro Tempore, Majority Leader, Assistant Majority Leader, Minority Leader, and the Assistant Minority Leader. The House Leadership includes the Speaker, Majority Leader, Assistant Majority Leader, Minority Leader, and the Assistant Minority Leader.
Much of the work of the Legislature will be done in standing committees of the Senate and standing committees of the House. These committees hold public hearings on each bill or resolution, providing an opportunity for interested individuals to give facts and opinions.
The Protection & Advocacy Project (P&A) tracks disabilities-related Legislation. At least weekly, e-mails are sent out with bills, resolutions, hearing schedules, the tracking grid, and other misc. information specific to disabilities-related Legislation. If you are interested in being on the e-mail list, feel free to contact P&A to provide your name and e-mail address. Click here to view the final tracking grid for the 11-13 Session. (636kb pdf)
