### § 104-01-01-01. Organization of the board.

1. History. The 1969 legislative assembly passed legislation establishing the state board of
hearing aid dealers and fitters, codified as North Dakota Century Code chapter 43-33. The
1991 legislative assembly changed the name of the board to the state board of hearing
instrument dispensers. The board is responsible for examining and licensing applicants for
licensure as hearing instrument dispensers, and regulating the practice of fitting and
dispensing hearing instruments.
2. Board membership. The board consists of ten members appointed by the governor. Board
members must be residents of the state. The board consists of four hearing instrument
dispensers who are not audiologists or otolaryngologists, one otolaryngologist, three
audiologists, and two consumers. Board members serve four-year terms, and no member may
be reappointed to the board until at least one year after the expiration of that person's second
term of office.
3. Board officers. Board members annually designate individual members to serve as
chairperson, licensure secretary, and treasurer.
4. Inquiries. Inquiries regarding the board may be addressed to:
