North Dakota State Information

The Mechanical Insulators Labor Management Cooperative Trust (LMCT) is looking to aid in information available to elected officials, Insulators Union Locals and members, contractors and the general public in North Dakota.

Some of the information on this page may be outdated with the coronavirus global pandemic. Please contact any member of the Mechanical Insulators LMCT with any questions.

On this page, you will find information related to state specific legislation that deals with mechanical insulation and labor, Political Action Committee (PAC) guidelines and information for the state’s federally elected officials.

North Dakota’s state capitol resides in Bismarck.

North Dakota has two chambers, the House and the Senate.There are 94 members in the House and 47 Senators. The legislature is a biennial body. This means they only meet every other year. The two chambers only sit for 80 days in odd numbered years. Since they are a biennial body they are governed in the interim by a legislative council. The council consists of 17 members from both chambers. The legislature convenes every January after a legislative election. The members in each chamber serve four year terms. The qualifications for both chambers are the same and are minimal. You must be a registered voter of the State on the day of the election and a resident of the district for one year prior to the election. North Dakota does not have term limits. Both chambers are controlled by the Republicans.

Bill Information

There are currently no bills that are active in the current Legislative Session and pertain to the Mechanical Insulation industry.

There are many instances where Mechanical Insulation, Firestopping and other construction issues are prevalent and relevant to our industry in legislation that is not at the state level. 

Campaigning for work in educational facilities, industrial plants, manufacturing facilities, medical facilities and office/residential facilities often position our industry to be successful. 

If you know of any upcoming legislation or efforts being campaigned for this state, please contact the LMCT.

When a bill is introduced for the state-wide efforts, we will update this section.
