Legislature has something for everyone in first week

“Something for Everybody” was the 13th album recorded by superstar Elvis Presley, but the vinyl LP, which came out in 1961, didn’t include any of his many mega hits. It did have lots of good music but nothing spectacular.

Those who follow the 63rd North Dakota Legislative Assembly will likely find something they like and most are hoping the record produced between now and May will turn out to be sweet music.

Committee hearings will begin Thursday, Jan. 17, to review a sliding scale fee proposal increase (HB1048) for speeding, ranging from $20 plus $2 per mile for 1-5 miles over the limit to $20 plus $10 per mile for 6-plus miles over the limit.

HB1028 calls for closer scrutiny when it comes to athletic injuries (specifically concussions). It would apply to public and nonpublic schools sanctioning athletic programs, requiring them to adhere to the terms of a concussion management program.
