(AP) — A North Dakota legislator is back at work just days after he was injured when his minivan crashed into a moose, killing it.Rep. Marvin Nelson, from Rolla, had just picked up his granddaughters in Jamestown and was heading home on Highway 281 Friday night when he spotted a moose in a ditch near Rocklake. Nelson says a moment later a second moose appeared in the middle of the road and he couldn’t avoid hitting it. Part of the moose crashed through the windshield, spraying glass in Nelson’s face. His granddaughters, ages 3 and 5, were safely tucked in their car seats in the back and weren’t hurt.Nelson tells The Bismarck Tribune he had glass in his eyes and couldn’t call 911, but soon another motorist came by and called for help. 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota House on Monday approved legislation that would expand the list of medical conditions for which residents can use medical marijuana, add health care professionals who can certify patients for the drug and increase the forms it can come in.

House members also endorsed a proposed change in state law that could make it easier for patients to get doctor approval for the drug. All the changes will need Senate approval before they can take effect.

Getting the necessary approval from doctors and advanced practice registered nurses has been a stumbling block for patients who want to apply for a state medical marijuana card, according to advocates. The medical community has cited several concerns , including that marijuana can be addictive, can have adverse side effects and is still technically illegal under federal law.

The House voted 90-3 in favor of removing a requirement in state law that health professionals who certify a patient attest that medical marijuana will help that person. The North Dakota Medical Association has said that puts many doctors in an uncomfortable legal and ethical position because research on the efficacy of medical marijuana is lacking.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s Senate has approved a resolution that would give the Legislature input on successful citizen-led initiatives that amend the state constitution.Senators voted 31-16 on Monday to allow the Legislature to vote on the measure following voters’ approval. The initiative would go back to voters for final approval if it fails to win lawmakers’ endorsement.Opponents believe the proposed legislation goes against the will of the people.Republican Sen. David Hogue says the legislation was inspired in part by a string of successful ballot measures funded largely by out-of-state interests.The resolution now goes to the House for consideration. 
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s House has passed bipartisan legislation intended to collect data on missing and murdered people.Representatives voted 93-0 on Monday to approve the measure sponsored by Fargo Democratic Rep. Ruth Buffalo. She is the first female Native American Democrat elected to the state Legislature.Buffalo’s bill initially included missing and murdered Native Americans in North Dakota but she expanded it to include all people.Buffalo says the state does not collect data on missing people and the issue of missing and murdered indigenous women is a “nationwide crisis.”The state Attorney General’s office supports the legislation.It now heads to the Senate for consideration. 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s House has rejected a measure that would prohibit housing or workforce discrimination based on sexual orientation.The bill was defeated 70-22 on Monday. It’s the latest defeat for an idea that’s gone down several times in recent years.The North Dakota Senate in January rejected a measure that would prohibit housing or workforce discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.The House bill does not include gender identity. The North Dakota Human Rights Coalition, which has supported the anti-discrimination bills in the past, said it now opposes the House bill because it does not also include gender identity.The groups says the omission would “codify into law that it is acceptable to discriminate against transgender people.”

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s House has passed legislation that would exempt military retirement pay from state income tax.Representatives passed the bill 50-42 on Monday.The deduction is available to individuals or their survivors who receive military retirement pay.State budget writers estimate about $3 million in state income tax is generated from military retirement pay.The measure now heads to the Senate.
