The bill's sponsors are Senator Rich Wardner, R-Dickinson, and Senator Carolyn Nelson, D-Fargo, and "Noah's Law" will be introduced to the Employee Benefits Programs Committee in the Harvest Room at the state Capitol on April 27 at 9 a.m. CDT. After that introduction the Committee will determine whether to recommend the bill for further action.
"Noah's Law" would require insurance companies to cover behavior analytic treatment of autism; besides the direct treatment benefit to children the hope is that an increased pool of certified practitioners would be attracted to serve North Dakota children.
