N.D. (NewsDakota.com) Supporters of changing North Dakota’s pharmacy ownership law are hoping to bring the matter to voters once again.

Secretary of State Al Jaeger says if it is approve supporters would need to gather and submit at least 13,452 valid signatures to get a proposed measure on the ballot.

It would change a requirement in North Dakota law that says majority ownership in pharmacies in the state must be held by a registered pharmacist.

A similar petition drive in 2010 failed. The legislature defeated a bill that would have repealed the pharmacy ownership requirement back in 2009.
