Work Comp Measure to be on North Dakota Ballot

Secretary of State Al Jaeger said a proposal to change how North Dakota’s workers compensation agency is run will be on the statewide ballot in November.

Jaeger says he has reviewed petitions submitted by the measure’s supporters, and they contain enough valid signatures to be placed on the ballot.

The proposal would put the governor in charge of appointing the director of Workforce Safety and Insurance. Now, an appointed board has the power.
