Bill > SB2186

This bill amends and reenacts Section 54-35-18 of the North Dakota Century Code, which establishes the Energy Development and Transmission Committee. The committee, appointed by the legislative management (a group that oversees legislative affairs between sessions), consists of six members from the House of Representatives and six from the Senate, with a specific party breakdown. The committee's purpose is to study and make recommendations on a comprehensive energy policy for North Dakota, covering all aspects of the energy industry from resource extraction to final product sales, including policies on extraction, generation, processing, transmission, transportation, marketing, distribution, and use of energy, with a specific mention of potentially taxing shallow gas to lower energy costs for North Dakota residents.
