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 specific information that should be compiled for each expenditure. This information includes payment details, recipient names, employee positions for personnel payments, and descriptions of educational materials, among other data points. Additionally, the study will explore the potential for standardized categorization of transactions and the establishment of a user-friendly database with search capabilities, data aggregation tools, and options for downloading information.

At the conclusion of the study, the legislative management is required to report its findings and recommendations to the seventieth legislative assembly, including any proposed legislation needed to implement these recommendations. The bill emphasizes the importance of transparency and accessibility in government spending, aiming to enhance accountability and provide valuable insights into financial operations within the state and educational institutions.
