MINOR
This bill amends the composition of the North Dakota Teachers' Fund for Retirement Board by specifying how board members are appointed and ensuring board members remain actively employed in their respective roles. It clarifies that board members appointed by the governor must be nominated by specific organizations and must cease serving if they leave their employment positions.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on the Teachers' Fund for Retirement Board, but it adds specific eligibility requirements for board members and clarifies appointment processes.
REQUIREMENT
Board member appointments now require nominees from specific organizations: North Dakota United (two teacher members), North Dakota Council of Educational Leaders (one administrator member), and North Dakota Retired Teachers Association (two retired members).
New requirement that board members who terminate their employment must immediately cease serving on the board, preventing continued service after leaving their teaching or administrative positions.
ELIGIBILITY
Clarified that appointed board members must be actively employed in full-time positions as teachers or school administrators, not classified as administrators for teacher members.
