(Bismarck, ND) -- A handful of new laws that will go into effect in 2024, including two on January 1st.  

Most new laws from the 2022-2023 legislative session took effect in August, but some do start at the beginning of the new year. House Bill 1044 states that assistants and registered nurses must be given the same rights and responsibilities as a doctor under the medical assistance program.

House Bill 1191 also becomes effective on New Year's Day. It allows government agencies to have more access to criminal history checks both statewide and nationally.
