Bill > HB1179

This bill directs the Legislative Management, a committee responsible for conducting interim studies between legislative sessions, to examine paid time off policies for faculty members at higher education institutions in North Dakota during the 2025-26 interim period. Specifically, the study will focus on potentially requiring institutions to provide paid time off for faculty who are appointed to at least a twelve-month employment term. The study will involve a comprehensive review of leave policies at both in-state and out-of-state higher education institutions. By the end of the interim period, the Legislative Management is expected to prepare a report detailing their findings and recommendations, which may include proposed legislation to implement any suggested changes to faculty paid time off policies. This study aims to evaluate and potentially standardize or improve paid time off practices for full-time faculty members across North Dakota's higher education system.
