New law leaves North Dakota spending panel boxed in on using federal funds
The law, which went into effect in April, requires the governor to call lawmakers in for a special session if the total amount of federal funds doled out by the commission exceeds $50 million during the two-year budget cycle. Lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to override the Gov. Doug Burgum s veto, pushing the bill into law despite Republican Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem s remark that the legislation is very problematic and would be difficult to defend against a constitutional challenge. 6:43 pm, Jun. 16, 2021 ×
