In April, Gov. Doug Burgum signed a bill that shields applicants for public jobs in North Dakota. The new law makes any records that could identify an applicant for a job with a “public entity” confidential until at least three finalists are designated. Opponents say it was too broad, while supporters say the bill would provide some privacy to those seeking work and improve the talent pool for public jobs. The North Dakota House also passed legislation Monday requiring child care providers to file a renewal application at least two months before their current license expires. Another bill was passed that was spurred by controversy over the lack of pre-game prayers at a high school event. And finally, State lawmakers may study moving local elections to the general election under a resolution approved by the state Senate.
