52-02-06. Merit system and personnel

1. In accordance with chapter 54-44.3 and rules adopted thereunder and on the basis of

the authority granted under section 52-02-02, the bureau shall select and prescribe the

duties and powers of officers, employees, and other persons as may be necessary in

the performance of its duties under the chapter; provided, that in cooperation with

North Dakota human resource management services the bureau shall take such action

as may be necessary to meet the personnel standards adopted by the secretary of

labor pursuant to the Social Security Act [42 U.S.C. 301 et seq.] and the

Wagner-Peyser Act [48 Stat. 113; 29 U.S.C. 49-49k], both as amended.

2. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the bureau shall have authority to

dismiss without notice any person employed in the administration of the North Dakota

United States civil service commission that that person has violated the provisions of

the Act of the Congress of the United States entitled "An Act to prevent pernicious

political activities", as amended [18 U.S.C. 61(a)] and that the violation warrants the

removal of that person from employment.
