In the first ruling of its kind, North Dakota's attorney general has upheld the legality of the nation's insurance regulators barring the public from certain meetings of their national association--an action several state legislators have challenged.
Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem's ruling--in response to a request in a letter from North Dakota Reps. George Keiser, R-Bismarck, and Frank Wald, R-Dickinson--found that North Dakota's open meetings law did not apply to such sessions.
In response, Rep. Keiser said he will introduce legislation to change the law, which would be discussed at public hearings. North Dakota's legislature is in session again a year from this coming January, but within a few weeks he said he will make a filing to raise the issue.
