1. Whenever an appointing authority receives a valid request for the services of an
interpreter or on the appointing authority's own motion, the authority shall request the
superintendent of the school for the deaf to furnish the authority with a list of sources
of qualified interpreters at the time and place specified by the authority.
2. When requested by an appointing authority to provide assistance in providing an
interpreter, the national registry of interpreters for the deaf or the North Dakota
association of the deaf or the superintendent of the North Dakota school for the deaf
shall supply a list of sources and do everything necessary to assist the appointing
authority in obtaining a qualified interpreter; providing, however, if the choice of
qualified interpreter does not meet the needs of the deaf person, the appointing
authority shall appoint another qualified interpreter.
