AN ACT to create and enact a new section to chapter 50-06.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the compensation rate paid by the department of health and human services under the senior community service employment program.

HB 1066 changes the payment rate for participants in North Dakota's Senior Community Service Employment Program, which places seniors aged 55+ in community service roles. The bill creates a new section in the state code requiring the Department of Health and Human Services to adjust the compensation rate paid to these participants. This directly affects seniors working through the program and the state agency managing it. The key provision is mandating a specific rate change within the existing program framework, without altering program eligibility or structure.
