North Dakota Protection & Advocacy Project
Legislative: Legislative Working Committees
Legislative Working Committees are "the pipeline" for people with disabilities, family members, and advocates to network and receive information about disabilities-related legislation. Legislative Working Committees are not "owned" by any one group but are supported by many individuals and organizations that care about people with disabilities. The goal of Legislative Working Committees is to educate people with disabilities, family members, and advocates about the Legislative process, disability-related Legislation, and the protocol for communicating with State Senators and Representatives.
During the 65th Interim (2017-2018), Legislative Working Committees will not meet on a regular basis or in all areas of the state. Information about scheduled meetings will be posted under Hot Topics.
The North Dakota Legislature will convene its next regular session in January 2019 and will meet for approximately four months. During that time, Legislative Working Committees around the State will meet weekly, on Friday afternoon or Saturday morning.
