AN ACT to create and enact a new section to chapter 54-35 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the creation of a legislative task force on government efficiency; to provide for a legislative management report; to provide an expiration date; and to declare an emergency.
This bill proposes the formation of a legislative task force focused on enhancing government efficiency in North Dakota. The task force would be charged with identifying areas for improvement within state government operations and providing recommendations to the legislature. The bill also mandates the creation of a legislative management report detailing the findings and proposed actions. The task force and its report are set to expire after a specified period, and the bill declares an emergency to expedite its passage.
The bill would affect state government employees and officials by potentially leading to changes in how government operates. It could lead to more efficient processes and better use of resources, which might ultimately save money and improve services for citizens. The legislative management report would be a key document for lawmakers to consider when making decisions about government operations.
As of the last status update, the bill was signed by the Governor on April 28, 2025, and filed with the Secretary of State on April 30, 2025. The legislative process saw the bill introduced on January 15, 2025, referred to the Finance and Taxation Committee, and then reported back with amendments. After passing both the House and Senate, it was signed by both the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate before being sent to the Governor for final approval.
