The North Dakota Legislature on Monday began a special session to restructure a key budget bill overturned by the state Supreme Court last month.
North Dakota’s Republican-controlled Legislature began a special session Monday to redo a key budget bill the state Supreme Court voided last month, leaving a giant hole in government operations. Lawmakers quickly began hearings on 14 bills for restoring the provisions of the major budget bill voided by the high court, which invalidated the bill as unconstitutional because it violated a single-subject requirement for bills.
Republican Gov. Doug Burgum, who is running for president, urged the Legislature to take up other items using higher-than-forecasted excess state tax revenue. Those include $91 million for expanding a previous income tax cut, $50 million for infrastructure projects and $20 million to expand a tourism attraction grant program the governor said has drawn great interest.
top legislative panel last week turned down more than two dozen bills from lawmakers who sought to add other issues to the special session, including ones Burgum is pressing. Only one proposal advanced: a resolution in support of Israel amid the ongoing war with Hamas. Republican House Majority Leader Mike Lefor told The Associated Press that 'discussions are ongoing' as to Burgum's proposals.
Republican legislative majority leaders have eyed a three- to five-day special session.
