This Wikipedia article records that a 21 May 2012 constitutional amendment redesignated the Church of Norway as the nation's people's church with increased autonomy, that on 1 January 2017 the church became a legally independent entity and roughly 1,250 clergy ceased being government employees, and that despite this legal separation the church remains state funded, with other religious and life stance communities entitled to the same level of government subsidy.

Assessment
Reliability Tier3
A crowd sourced encyclopedia article used here for a funding and disestablishment timeline (the 2012 constitutional amendment, the 2017 separation, continued state funding after both), a straightforward chronology corroborated by the reform dates it independently records, hence the lowest tier rather than exclusion.
