ND HB1120

Amends sections 65-06.2-06 and 65-06.2-07 of the North Dakota Century Code to modify workers' compensation coverage for inmates working in Roughrider Industries prison programs.

Requires Roughrider Industries to contribute to the risk management workers' compensation fund and participate in the workforce safety and insurance account for state entities rather than securing separate excess or reinsurance coverage.

Specifies that when total costs and expenses charged to the modified workers' compensation program exceed collected premiums and payments from the risk management workers' compensation fund, the state shall reimburse the organization through legislative appropriation.

Requires Roughrider Industries to secure reinsurance for excess costs and expenses to minimize exposure to the state general fund.

Makes the modified workers' compensation coverage effective only if the organization has purchased excess coverage or reinsurance that does not exclude claims under this section.
