Workers’ Comp Proposal to be on North Dakota November Ballot

North Dakota Secretary of State Al Jaeger says 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.
