39-03.1-27. Legislative intent The legislative assembly in recognition of the value of good employer-employee relationships and the need to recruit and retain qualified highway patrol troopers in this state, hereby declares its intent that the state should provide the comparable contribution for retirement of highway patrol troopers' retirement system members as it provides for other state employees. It is the further intent of the legislative assembly that because of the increase in state contributions to the North Dakota highway patrol troopers' retirement system, the members of such system shall not obligate the state to additional payments for federal social security benefits for such members.
