Bill > HB1406

This bill modifies the current rules for how executive branch agencies and the judicial branch can introduce bills in North Dakota by changing the process for bill submission. Under the new provision, executive branch agencies and the judicial branch will no longer be allowed to submit legislative bills for introduction until a specific deadline, which will be communicated by the legislative council in December of each even-numbered year. Previously, these agencies were restricted from submitting bills until the first legislative filing deadline for legislators. The bill aims to standardize and regulate the bill introduction process for non-legislative entities by establishing a clear notification and submission timeline. By creating a new section in chapter 54-03 of the North Dakota Century Code, the legislation seeks to provide more structured guidance for how government agencies can participate in the legislative process.
