This bill proposes the creation of a new subsection to section 40-49-12 of the North Dakota Century Code, specifically aimed at enhancing cooperative purchasing capabilities for park districts. The new legal language allows park districts to participate in cooperative purchasing contracts with the office of management and budget, engage in cooperative purchasing contracts with another state, and contract for cooperative purchases pursuant to a joint powers agreement under chapter 54 - 40.3. The intent of this legislation is to streamline the procurement process for park districts by enabling them to collaborate with state agencies and other states, thereby potentially reducing costs and improving efficiency in purchasing goods and services. This initiative reflects a broader effort to promote cooperative agreements and resource sharing among governmental entities in North Dakota.
