(Bismarck, ND) -- North Dakota lawmakers are at odds over the issue of paid family leave. Democratic lawmakers are proposing a bill to create an opt-in statewide paid leave fund. Employees would be required to work at least 500 hours in their position to access the leave fund. Republicans are proposing a separate bill to prohibit local governments from requiring paid family leave.
