Division to license blind operators and operate vending facilities - Continuing appropriation of income
N.D. Cent. Code § 50-06.1-13
in effect50-06.1-13. Division to license blind operators and operate vending facilities -
Continuing appropriation of income.
The division shall act as the state licensing agency to license the operators of vending
facilities on federal property within the state to the extent permitted or required by the
Randolph-Sheppard Act [Pub. L. 74-732; 20 U.S.C. 107]. The division may take any action,
consistent with the provisions of that Act, for the purpose of providing blind persons with
remunerative employment, enlarging the economic opportunities of the blind, and stimulating
the blind to greater efforts in striving to make themselves self-supporting. If there is no blind
licensee operating a vending facility on federal property, the division may operate or contract for
the operation of a vending facility, provided that all income from such a vending facility is
distributed in a manner consistent with the requirements of such Act. There is hereby
appropriated on a continuing basis all income from vending facilities which the division operates,
or contracts to operate, consistent with the requirements of such Act and the regulations and
policies of the United States secretary of education, promulgated thereunder, for the purposes
of:
1. Maintenance and replacement of equipment.
2. The purchase of new equipment.
3. Management services.
4. Assuring a fair minimum return to operators of vending facilities.
5. Retirement or pension funds, health insurance contributions, and provision for paid
sick leave and vacation time, if it is determined by a majority vote of blind licensees
licensed by the division, after the division provides to each such licensee full
information on all matters relevant to such proposed program, that income should be
used for such purposes.
