North Dakota's Republican-controlled Legislature is scheduled to convene to fix a budget mess
North Dakota lawmakers are scheduled to be back in Bismarck on Monday to begin a special session to fix a budget mess after the state Supreme Court struck down a major funding bill last month. Here is a preview of the issues involved in the special session and what awaits Republican Gov. Doug Burgum and the Republican-controlled Legislature.
Last month, the North Dakota Supreme Court struck down a major budget bill as unconstitutional. The bill was mainly intended to fund the state Office of Management and Budget but has typically been used in the past as a catchall or cleanup bill passed at the end of the biennial legislative session. By embracing too many different topics, the court ruled the measure violated the state constitution's single-subject requirement for bills.
The panel allowed lawmakers on Tuesday to submit bill proposals for the special session, with more than 25 emerging for consideration, including bills providing tax cuts, maintaining the wild horses in Theodore Roosevelt National Park and allowing raw milk products for sale. Only one proposal advanced, a resolution in support of Israel during the ongoing war with Hamas.
Burgum, who is running for president, will be in Bismarck all week except for Wednesday when he is scheduled to deliver a welcome address at an event in Watford City, Nowatzki said. The governor is preparing to detail his priorities for the special session in a State of the State speech Monday.
