Summary — HB 1007

Title: An Act to provide an appropriation for defraying the expenses of the Department of Labor and Human Rights

Main purpose

HB 1007 provides the Legislature’s appropriation to fund the operations of North Dakota’s Department of Labor and Human Rights for the 2025‑2027 biennium (July 1, 2025 — June 30, 2027). The appropriation covers salaries, operating expenses, and related personnel funding for the Department.

Key provisions and changes

  • Appropriates funds from the state general fund and other funds (including federal funds) to the Department of Labor and Human Rights to defray its expenses for the 2025–2027 biennium.
  • Establishes line‑item funding for:
    • Salaries and wages
    • Operating expenses
    • A new and vacant FTE pool (funding intended for future personnel fills; subject to transfer rules)
  • Includes a limitation and transfer procedure: funds in the “new and vacant FTE pool” may not be spent directly by the Department; the Department may request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to transfer amounts from the new and vacant FTE pool to the salaries and wages line pursuant to the guidelines and reporting provisions established in House Bill No. 1015 (as approved by the sixty‑ninth Legislative Assembly).
