The bill proposes a legislative management study during the 2025-26 interim to assess the feasibility of creating a government spending database in North Dakota. The study will focus on several key areas, including the necessary training for school board members and administrators on the database's use, as well as the types of information that should be compiled for each expenditure. This information includes payment details, recipient names, employee positions for personnel payments, and specific data related to educational materials for school districts, such as curriculum descriptions and textbook authors.

Additionally, the study will evaluate the database's capabilities, including search functions, data aggregation tools, download options, and the provision of anonymous salary and benefit information. The legislative management is tasked with reporting its findings and any legislative recommendations to the seventieth legislative assembly, ensuring that the proposed database aligns with best practices and regulatory compliance.
