During a recent meeting of the House Appropriations - Education and Environment Division, members discussed the relocation of a key commission office in North Dakota. The previous location, situated in North Bismarck, was deemed difficult for the public and legislators to access. Feedback from various stakeholders highlighted the need for a more convenient site.

In response to these concerns, the commission moved to a new office space in the Judicial Wing of the state capitol. This transition took place in November 2024, following a period where the commission operated remotely during the last legislative session. The legislature allocated funds for minor renovations, allowing the commission to occupy part of the Department of Human Services' area.

The new location aims to enhance public accessibility, enabling citizens to visit, ask questions, and engage more effectively with the commission. This move reflects a broader commitment to improving government transparency and responsiveness to community needs. As the commission settles into its new space, it is expected to foster better communication and service delivery to the public.
