The resolution authorizes the Budget Section of the Legislative Management in North Dakota to conduct necessary legislative hearings regarding state plans for the receipt and expenditure of new or revised block grants that may be passed by Congress. This action is prompted by the requirements set forth in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, which established the community services block grant program. The Legislative Assembly has already fulfilled its public hearing obligations for the upcoming biennium concerning community services block grant funds, but it cannot hold hearings on any new or revised grants that may be approved after the Assembly's recess or adjournment.

Given that the Sixty-ninth Legislative Assembly will not convene in regular session during 2026, the resolution delegates the responsibility for public hearings on these grants to the Budget Section. The resolution confirms that the appropriation bill enacted by the Legislative Assembly serves as approval for the use of community services block grant funds until September 30, 2027. It also grants the Budget Section the authority to provide public notice and conduct hearings as necessary during the specified period, ensuring compliance with federal requirements for the receipt of additional federal funds.
