BISMARKCK, N.D. (AP) - The North Dakota Senate has unanimously approved a bill that would create an official statewide brain injury advisory council.
Senators approved the House bill, with some changes, by a 45-0 vote Monday. The measure passed the House by an 81-9 vote earlier this season.
Under the bill, the governor, legislative leaders and other groups would appoint member of the council. The group would be charged with promoting programs and ways to improve the quality of life for those living with traumatic brain injuries.
The Bismarck Tribune (https://bit.ly/2mFQHrO ) reports the House must agree with the Senate’s amendments, or else a conference committee would need to be appointed to iron out differences.
