Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Higher pay for North Dakota’s insurance commissioner

The law raises the North Dakota Insurance Commissioner’s annual salary from $135,200 to $139,256 through June 30, 2026. Beginning July 1, 2026, the annual salary is $143,434. This pay increase applies to the commissioner, not public employees generally.

Insurance office funding with spending limits

North Dakota provides about $20.77 million for the Insurance Commissioner’s office from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027. Special and federal funds support 57 full-time equivalent positions, with about $14.70 million for pay and $3.25 million for operations. The total also includes $90,000 for capital assets, $2.40 million for grants, and a $325,136 new-and-vacant-position pool. The office cannot spend directly from that pool; transfers to pay require House Bill 1015’s guidelines and reporting. The law also funds any additional federal money received during that period, requiring reports to state budget officials and the Legislative Council.
